Glad to see the thread getting busy.


OOOOOh I think I get that MickiSue! It's much easier to blame others than take responsibility ourselves. Food for thought I am going to dig a bit deeper into my own behaviours in those situations now!!


Agree about fear building up as the holiday celebrations loom nearer. We know our resolve will be challenged by all the temptations. I like routine in life particularly in my eating. Having found a pattern of eating that suits, I don't relish a different timetable and different foods. Whilst alcohol has no attraction to me I will be expected to drink something. The sweet juices like apple or grape are not appealing and I don't like fizzy cans of drink either. If possible will have sparkling water or soda water and lime. Really the whole thing is worrying. Personally I am actually a bit frightened that I might lose control. That a smell or sight of a particular food might just tip me over the edge and I won't be able to stop. That reminds me of the saying "If you believe you can or you believe you can't.............. So i had better instil some confidence in my ability to handle this. Think I need some of Jo's inspirational advice.
Dark long cold nights certainly don't help. And yes having strategies in place can only be a good thing.
