I'm a bit nervous about the 'festivities' of the festive season..........

Makes total sense hun and well done on the 18kg so far...

All i can suggest is enjoy in moderation, you know what have LOTS of salad and halve the portions of sweets etc, your still allowed to enjoy these foods... just make the conscious decision as to whether you WANT to or not.

YOU CAN DO IT.... enjoy yourself, let you hair down... have some yummy Aussie food... if you can though go for walks etc while your here.. get out in the fresh Aussie air and work off the calories your worried about

I'm so glad that you 'got' it ZF. I feel so completely 'vain' for even starting the thread, but I have worked my backside off to get this 18kg off. I plan on stacking up my plate with the salads. One thing I have really learned is to not snack between meals, I think if I can stick to no snacks, I should be ok. I'm not being completely unreasonable, I know I will come back to China having put something back on, but I don't want it to be a big number,

BTW, your ticker is zooming along as well! WTG!

read the other day the average aussie gains 2kg over the xmas season so thats not a huge number
