We are going to my Mum's, so I know everything is going to be cooked in a totally synful way... think goose fat, vegetables in butter, you name it! I was thinking I might go for a Red day, selecting the meat and the healthiest-looking veg from the table. Then I thought I could take along a jelly mousse for a dessert. For the evening, I shall take a salad, so I could have turkey and salad (instead of turkey in white bread sandwiches, with cheese and biscuits and left over stuffing!) That way I can use my syns for a few gin and slims.
It's such a shame that we all think of Christmas, and have to plan how to be good, as it shouldn't be what the day is about! But I just know if I don't plan things a little, and bring along some healthy options, my self-control will disappear. If I were to go a little off-plan, I would just totally over-indulge!
