I am overweight and don't want to gain anymore during the holidays. The temptations are pretty endless during this time of year. Dieting always results in regain plus additional pounds for me. I don't want to be dieting now anyhow. I am just hoping to get by without gaining. Are any of you dealing with the same issue?

The food over the holidays is way too delicious to pass up eating more, I never watch my weight over the holidays, I think that's the worst time to start a diet plan. I always seem to find myself saying "after the holidays I will watch my weight" which does happen but only lasts so long before I give in again lol.

I agree that holiday food is delicious. Normally, I could not pass it up either. Hopefully, I will find the will power to avoid overeating. I try not to let my appearance bother me too much. However, this belly is starting to have a life of it's own. Hopefully, desperation not to add to my misery will trump the desire to eat all the yummy food.

No way, Holidays are supposed to be for enjoying yourself.. You eat till you drop. Atleast thats what I do, lol, and no, I'm not fat at all. I just like to eat homecooked meals at my aunts, lol.

No, I don’t watch my weight because I have no problem of over weight. I am very diet cautious person, yes, some time I watch for under weight. Dieting always results in regain the weight therefore special care to be required for over weight persons. Excess weight always create for many problems for any person. Therefore, they should watch their weight time to time.

Great question.
Lately my back has been hurting me more and I started thinking why? I think it may be because I've put on a few pounds.
I had done well and lost 10+ pounds.
I need to do better eating right.
Unfortunately, I doubt I'll do too much better until after the holidays.
I'd like to think I'd do better but I doubt it.
