Having lost weight, I am a little anxious about the approaching season and have been looking at ways not to regain it over the seven days eating. A bit of research was needed. A bit of research and forward planning.
I love Christmas and everything about it, from the carols playing whilst I write cards, the Church services, Father Christmas- the Spirit of loving and giving, family - and of course the celebrations which always necessitate the consumption of food.
I have lost weight for health reasons not vanity, although I do look better for it.
I want to share some of the ways I have found to do a " damage limitation " exercise on my weight gain. Last Christmas I only gained one pound doing these things.
You can have a lovely time just don't go mad!

Advent starts tomorrow but this does not mean that it's a time to get fat before the day! This page gets visitors all year long but here is a revisit and a timely reminder.
Let us know how you get on with your fat free, carb free ideas !
Paperfacets Good morning. Ty for your comments.
I have a constant battle too . I know the major health implications of being overweight.
Just now before Christmas I am reducing all fat and carbs. It is much easier to gain than to lose.
Therefore for breakfast I have poached eggs ( no fat ), pears and fat free yogurt. Dinner tonight is salmon and salad . No fat.
Good luck with it and I do hope you find some ideas here.
Always a constsnt battle to watch the over snacking. My pounds are mounting already. I sure need these good reminders.
Yes, weight can be a killer.
I set a target of being under 12 stone by new year. I am now 11 stone 12. With a bit of care I can drop further.

Some of us have gained weight during lockdown in UK. ( I ve lost 8 lbs ) Take a look here and see how to avoid weight gain during December . Christmas is just a few a days- not weeks of overeating and drinking.
