anybody else started yet? Can't seem to stop snacking biscuits,crisps,mince pies etc,do the same every year normally put about 10lbs on over the period,hopefully 80-100 miles a week on bike will keep it down a bit.

Had an MP saturday, but nothing more than that yet. A short while ago, like an hour ago, I turned down the opportunity of a pack of x10 raspberry donuts ;) for 10p at the supermarket as I thought what with Christmas coming it would not be the best preparation. I need to create space and donuts, raspberry jams ones at that, even as tasty as they are, might get me into bad ways, way too early before the dreaded Chistmas binge :laugh:.

The chocolates have started to appear in the office at work. Only had one this morning but my will-power wasn't so good this afternoon ;).

Wow, donuts at a penny each, that's positively Victorian!:laugh:


I've been excusing an extra pasty at lunchtime by the fact that I can walk up to 4 miles a day in my job (plus heavy lifting) on top of the 3 miles a day commuting, but that's not going to work over the Christmas break - all 4 days of it for me. So actually, I'll just work it all off afterwards.. Hoorah, pass the mince pies...

I think it's a winter thing too - the cold does make you hungry, and your instincts are saying "eat, now, while you have food, tomorrow, there might not be any...."

I've been earning christmas for the last few weeks... I'm down to 11st 8lbs this morning - so have earned mysellf approx 5lbs of gluttony.

If I finish christmas under 12st i'll be amazed and very proud. but I certainly don't intend to deny myself the luxury of scoffing my face.

Haven't started yet mind you... Going to try and hold off till 21st when I finish work.

Me too :tongue: I'm a few pounds over my normal weight going into Xmas, but I can lose it fairly easily... I have a big appetite, too! I remember a Christmas party a few years ago where I offered round a plate of mince pies to those present. One guy turned them down, saying "no, I've had three this week"... I told him I'd had 3 in the last 10 minutes. :biggrin:

I'm going to pack on the pounds - I know it. It's all the little picky bits that seem to take up every inch of the house. It hasn't started yet but by next week me and the boss will be up the pub at lunch time.
