Even though I will only be starting Lighter Life this week, I already know I will be abstaining on Christmas Day. (I am considering the merits of wine/sparkling water spritzers though...)
It was a hard decision to make, but I really thought hard about it and decided that I didn't want to end up another half a stone heavier than now - making the whole dieting process even longer.
The only thing is that now I have to tell my MIL that I will not be eating her wonderful Xmas meal. I fear it might be hard for other people to understand. They will all push food at me and it will be hard.
I have asked my husband to furnish me with lots of lovely non-food presents to make the day seem a little more special.
If you are planning on abstaining or at least cutting back - what tips or tricks do you have and what plans have you made to make it easier?
