1 day success[/colo
I almost talked myself out starting this right before the holidays, but I really want to look at this as a way of life not as a "diet". I am dreading the holiday parties, if I can just stay away from the sweets during the week and focus on 3 meals and only eating 1 plateful of food at the parties. If I can get through the holidays, then I feel like I will be abe to get through anything!!

I'm with you here! I just want this to be my life, and not sweat it, you know?
And honestly? This can be done. No need to dread, just choose to do it. It's not like we can't enjoy our food in the process!

Just wanted to pop in and welcome you to the forum. I think you're really smart to start now. This is a life-long change...you're wise to just dive in and start the process. You'll end up eating less than if you waited...and when January rolls around you'll have already started making great choices! I don't know about you, but if I was planning to start this AFTER the holiday season, I know I'd use the whole month as license to really overeat on multiple occasions!
If you haven't read the book, I'd recommend it. Small financial investment...great encouragement...
Welcome again!

I have stayed on track every day since I last posted even though I have not posted every day. So, let me just start from Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving - Ate everything in site!
Friday - Back to "N" day, did perfect.
Saturday & Sunday - Saturday ate T-giving leftovers, etc.
Sunday - I was sick with a stomach bug, so hardly ate anything.
Monday (Today), Still do not feel good. Ate breakfast and lunch, coffee this afternoon, and am getting ready to eat some chicken noodle soup.
