# WLC 9 Hurray! Another 2 pounds gone :-)

Not much to say other than that really.

Christmas is around the corner and I've decided to lose what I can up to Christmas Eve, then forget about it until New Year's Day. This may sound horrifying to many of you but as a reformed ( or in control) binge eater, ( like alcoholics I don't think we'll ever be completely cured) I know that if I deny myself, I will eventually go completely overboard.

If I tell myself I can eat what I want, I won't crave so much and will find it easier to say no. (Sounds daft but it works for me).

Anyway I'm jumping the gun a bit here, there are still 8 more weight losing days to Christmas.

Good Luck everybody.

Well done on your loss, I have been on the bus for a year pretty much, and am now at maintainance I have had 3 holidays and put on between 3-8lb each time but I know that once an event has finished that's, it regroup and carry on

Thanks Prin,

I'm approaching my 3rd Christmas on "the bus" ( I love that expression!) and have lost 5.5 stone up to now. As this is a new life plan for me and not a quick fix I to am learning take holiday gains on the chin ( or waist) and then, like you, regroup and carry on.

Wow that's a big loss, well done!

Well done. I hoped to do the same but with meals out and weather too stormy to go walking or gardening my weight is static just now.

[runningmam in reply to Windswept1]

Thanks Windswept,

I think we're all going to feeling be the same soon, just enjoy the holidays and get back on the wagon as soon as you can

Congratulations, well done

Thanks OlsBean. I'd say " Onward and upwards" but it sounds wrong. perhaps "Inwards and Downwards" is more appropriate
