Yea that is awesome 
Wish my hubby would walk with me, but maybe someday when he sees me doing it more regularly. Right now our best quality time where we talk is if we're looking at each other across a plate of food. Definitely time to change some habits, lol.
Anyway I was working on my profile today and found this funny cartoon Kinda goes with the holidays and fighting off all the cookies at work.

Hi all, sorry for abandoning you all but things have been hectic and once I get on the computer I spend hours here. I've had a couple of sneak peaks and that been it.
Well eating as expected at this time has not been great but hasn't been such a disaster as other years either. I have also been active so that makes up for it a bit. I am having at least 15 people here for lunch and dinner 3 days running and there will be at least 8 or 9 sleeping over for 2 nights so I am having to do a lot of preparation. We used to always book into a local hotel for the christmas period which saved a lot of work but the hotels all close in the winter now.
I'm hoping for sunshine so that we can eat outdoors as we really can't seat so many people comfortably indoors. The weather forcast was showing sun for the 3 days yesterday but today it has changed completely and looks as if it's going to be cold and cloudy.
I'm off to catch up on a few diaries while I have a minute. Talk to you all again before Xmas xx

I hope that everybody had a great Christmas.
I am absolutely disgusted with myself. I ate way to much. On Christmas day I was actually sick because of not being used to eating so much but did that stop me???? No I just carried right on eating. It has been a 3 day binge fest that stops right now!!!!!! Today I have started off well by having my usual cup of tea and bowl of bran instead of a bacon sandwich, several chocolate bars and anything else that I can get my hands on.
I've frozen or thrown away or given away any left overs so there is not much about to tempt me now.
I haven't dared to weigh myself yetbut will do after a couple of days of normal eating.
I did manage to get a long brisk walk with my husband yesterday but I really struggled to keep up.
I realize now that the reason that I do so well with my eating usually is because I just don't keep 'sinful' food in the house so am not tempted by it. I was honestly eating trifle and then shovelling twiglets into my mouth before finishing swallowing the trifle!!!!! That is just sick!!!!! It was really quite scary to be so out of control after a year of eating healthy.
Oh well back to normal now. Other years it would have gone on for weeks until I finally decided to calm down a bit. I hope that not too much damage is done. It's strange but I feel fat and bloated as though I have put all 19kg back on although I probably don't look any different than I did last week.
I hope that you all did better than me and I am suitably ashamed of myself.
Off to catch up on a few diaries now. It's nice to not be in such a frantic rush now.
PS - it's now much later in the day and I'm glad to say that eating has been back to normal today and the last 3 days have been forgotten. So nice to know how easy it is to get back to healthy eating.

I think I'd be the same if I ate badly now, I'd be sick as! Hey at least it was only 3 days and not 30 
I'm so glad Christmas is over for another year lol. Too much stress sometimes!

Hey ecky, sorry to hear you had such a difficult time over Christmas. I found it difficult to control myself as well... I think we need to get out of the mindset that Christmas revolves around food, especially unhealthy foods. It should really be about celebrating the year with our friends and family, but sadly the food can take over and we forget Next year we will be in a better mindset!! The good thing is that you realised what you were doing, you stopped it from becoming a habit again and you've gotten right back on track! That is wonderful I'm sure naturally skinny people do something similar - let themselves eat whatever on special occasions, but go back to eating normally very quickly afterwards

And the fact that a year went by...that's something to be proud of!!!!! You're not doing that every day, week, or month you know?! It was a rare occurrence, and I know you will bounce back right from it! Hope you have a wonderful New Year's! But I am sure I will talk to you before then missy! =)

Hi Ecky, I, too, stuffed myself silly & feel absolutely disgusting & disgusted with myself. It was such a scary thing to feel out of control with food. I guess it's those inner demons peeking out. Good for you snapping right back. I'm not binging any more but am not flipping my switch back on until Monday when I'm then getting serious about getting to the stage when I can honestly say that I am slim & fit & in control of my body.... *sigh* - looking forward to that! I know you will do it & must ensure that I do too. You are going to look great in that beautiful new dress, xoxo Cate.
PS Happy New Year to you, your family & all of your friends, especially your forum friends. 2011 is going to be the year that we all shine

Yea I screwed up too...got through Christmas because I had to work...tried to avoid the whole thing. I thought I was safe and sound until my husband brought home a huge, and I mean HUGE container of cookies from his dad's as one of our xmas gifts. Best I could hope for is my husband ate more than me and they were gone fast, lol.

Hey Ecky, I tried your tip of putting the weight I've lost into a back pack to see how it felt and I was BLOWN AWAY! Thanks so much for that, talk about a motivator... I could hardly lift it and I was huffing and puffing just walking around the house with it on! 
I actually found it a bit frightening too. I can't believe I was so heavy...
I actually found it a bit frightening too. I can't believe I was so heavy...Pigged out again last night but now that the holidays are over no more excuses. I'm looking forward to getting back on track as I hate this bloated lethargic feeling.
Happy New year to you all and thank you for all the support that I've had over the year. I could never have got this far without you all xx
