A brilliant synopsis from Crystal. Nonetheless, instead of gorging, I, as well, now favor samples of the variety of delectable taste treats, which will be the methodology I will continue to practice throughout the Holidays and the entire year. I suppose the proverb, "Live to Eat," has been replaced by "Eat to Live" in my vernacular. Certainly glad the article to this point didn't mention imbibing in spirits like tequila. In that case, nothing like three days of drinking! ;) “Remember, it’s 3 days of eating, not Halloween through New Years.”

We should be able to have special treats on the holiday days. The problem is people start eating at halloween and don't stop until New Years. This long stretch is difficult for many people because temptation is everywhere and we associate sugar with the holidays(every business makes sure of that). Then, on New Years Day we are shamed by the media for gaining weight and we must now but gym memberships, equipment, and weight loss products. Some of us are starting to associate the holidays with feeling sick, depressed, and fat. This is not what the holidays are all about. So, enjoy grandma's pie and treats on thanksgiving, christmas, and new years or whatever you celebrate. Remember, it's 3 days of eating, not halloween through New Years. Kevin-I agree.

I really fail to see how enjoying the holidays is such a big deal. This is the only time of the year when you see some people, and it might be the last time you ever get to have that slice of grandma's pie or one of her home made cookies. Are you really going to let that slip by just so you can eat on plan? Unless you are in contest prep mode or something whats the problem with gaining a couple of pounds? Assuming you normally eat right and exercise anyway, once the holidays pass the weight gain will go away with out any special effort. I actually embrace the over indulgence and alter my strength training to take advantage of it by going heavy, and adding a little muscle. In closing, worry less, enjoy more, life is short.
