How's everyone doing with the holiday food orgies? [View all]

Hi All - Dealing with the Thanksgiving meal and leftovers has been very tough for me. I've definitelly been overeating since Thanksgiving Day. I'll be glad when the leftovers are all gone. This is the first major holiday feast since my surgery this past summer. If I can get through the holidays without any long-term weight gain, I'll consider that a win. I'm still going to the gym every other day, so that should help some.

Overall, I'm now down a total of 70 pounds since February, 40 of them since my lap-band surgery in June. My goal is to lose another 50 over the next 6 -12 months.
