Throughout November and December I always tell my clients, "Do not buy into the horror stories you'll be seeing - "You'll gain pounds if you eat too much during Thanksgiving." "Beware those Christmas parties, you'll gain wait!"
And then - and it happens every year - from January 1 onward, you'll be bombarded with people telling you that you're too fat and that you can lose weight by doing this, this and that.
Do not let this constant bombardment affect you. It's hard, I know, but you've got to ignore it. You're going to lose weight at your own pace - and if you want to enjoy a large Christmas dinner you're damn well going to do it!
All you have to remember is that, if you do "over eat" you need simply go back to your old regimen afterwards. Maintain the eating process you've been following - DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF THE DAY AFTER IN PENANCE!!!! - and after a week or so you'll reach the caloric imbalance level again...and then you'll start losing weight again.
Obviously it would be best if you do not stuff yourself during Christmas...take a sliver of pie instead of a large wedge, take two or three pieces of chocolate instead of a handful, etc.... and just enjoy the time you spend with friends and family.
