wow i am in a definite minority!!! i am planning to SS over Christmas. i figured i can have a proper Christmas next year as a slim (definitely) and beautiful (maybe) woman!!!! planning to go abroad to the German Christmas Markets next year and sample all the continental goodies!!!! xxx

Surfhunny · 8th October, 2008

I've spent the last 4 Christmas's on one diet or another, being good while everyone else digs in to the Christmas treats. So this year I'll be at my goal weight, and I'm not dieting this Christmas. BUT it's not an excuse to run a muck completely. I'll be having Christmas and New Year off but then it's right back to healthy eating again afterwards. xxx

Elvira · 8th October, 2008

good on you for being able to get to goal in that time surfhunny!

unfortunately i am too far from goal to have a day off. i daren't jinx it!!!

last year we didn't celebrate christmas as my brother died so i'm not overjoyed about it coming round again as it marks the 1 year anniversary of his death. next year though i should be much happier with life as a whole and able to deal with that a bit better x

Surfhunny · 8th October, 2008

That's really sad. It's going to be a tough time for you and your family, but like you say, you're in a better position to cope with it all. And I've said it before on this thread you have to do what's right for you and if staying on the diet is it then go for it, otherwise you'll feel even worse. Hope you get through it okay.

I'm taking some time out but will hopefully settle on one of the other plans for the Christmas fortnight and I'm not going to be silly with the sweets and chocs (well I hope anyway lol)

I have a couple of work things to attend and I want to sit down with the same meals as everyone else even if I dont eat everything.

I'm just looking forward to a nice, social Christmas and then back onto SS after New Year to continue towards my goal.

Well that's my plan at the moment lol

Angel155 · 8th October, 2008

I am not going to be SS at Christmas. My husband has been in Afghanistan for the past 2 Christmases so this year is going to be great. To top it all I will be slimmer than I have been in years

night-owl · 8th October, 2008

Great question. I ticked SSing, although I'm doing the 810 Plan, as I certainly will not be having Christmas off. Endured enough fat Christmases and there will be plenty more when I am slim. I will stick to the 810 plan and have turkey a veg along with my meal packs. I might have a bubbly on Christmas Day, but foodwise, it is just not worth it for me.

fatblokeonabike · 8th October, 2008

I'm hoping to be well past my goal weight by xmas so will be eating! However I am working 12 hour shifts on xmas eve xmas day and boxing day so won't be having much........hmpf

Aww 12 hour shifts isn't very fair on Xmas!

Really loving reading these replies and I am getting very excited about my Christmas Dinner!! ha!

Amanda71 · 8th October, 2008

I hope to be near goal by then so may be on one of the higher plans. I won't be eating chocolates, pudding etc but I will have a small Christmas lunch with whatever plan I am on the days either side
