Bolinda Bolinda, Actually, I thought your original post was great and led to some very intelligent discussion of a subject that alot of us are concerned about. Some of us had the same thoughts as you did and I think all the messages had some very valid points in them which really helped me look at this in a more objective manner. I don't think anyone offended anyone else and we are still discussing it because there are lots of opinions on the subject and it's something we can all relate to!!! Please don't let this stop you from posting your opinions...because everyone's opinions are important, even when they aren't the same as everyone else's. They may just help someone else who is thinking the same thing as you, but just hasn't posted it or those who are lurking.

You have the right attitude. I gave my permission to overeat and drink and exercise a little less over the holidays (through New Years day) because of travelling and social activities. There is no guilt involved. I didn't want to make my husband, in-laws, parents, and myself miserable over the holidays by not participating in the festivities. I had a nice time. Tomorrow and New Years will be fun because we are spending it at the beach with friends and I am going to enjoy myself. Then, on Sunday, it's back to normal with eating. I'm already back into the routine with exercise. One week out of the year is not the end of the world. So good for you for taking this week in stride. I have no doubt that you will get back into it as soon as you are ready (the Kathy kickboxing tape is a great morale booster). Elena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
