Yay for weight loss! But you mustn't feel bad if you fail to resist the urge of tempting food over the festive season. I've lost about 30 pounds this year, but one of my main rules was that I was allowed occasional treats, and that I had to accept that my weight loss would halt - or even reverse - on special occasions. If a diet makes you miserable, it's not sustainable. I'd shown myself that I could successfully lose weight when I put my mind to it, therefore I didn't worry if I put on a couple of pounds on special occasions, since I knew I could lose it again. Better that, than sitting in a corner at a banquet, sipping water and nibbling dry bread, while everyone else was quaffing mead and eating chunks of boar.
Um.. Sorry. That sounded rather lecturing. Hope you have a good Christmas! :-)
I am trying not to be too strict about things, because it does ruin the fun of events. Like when my boss took us all out for lunch, I didn't immediately just order a salad, but got a sandwich instead. I figure if I hold steady, that's as much a victory as losing weight.
quite often I'm having to hike my pants/trousers/jeans up
A cautionary tale: I realized I was having that problem a while back, especially with a pair of denim culottes that I dearly loved, but, since I dearly loved them, I kept wearing them. Then came the day when I was trying to get from the car to the front door holding my purse, my bag, my keys, and a cat...and you can guess what happened. I'm just glad I was wearing cute knickers that day--it would've been terrible if the whole neighborhood had seen a pair of my "granny panties". The culottes went away.
