Also you can make yourself very ill. Yeye's right, it's either refeed properly beforehand and then eat on the day or stay 100% throughout. I plan to stay 100% during Xmas and New Year and I know there's a few on here who are also going to be doing that. There are others who are hoping to reach their goals before Xmas and then there are others who plan to refeed and take a break over Xmas and the New Year then come back to LT. You just need to decide which option is right for you. Personally, I don't want to go through week 1 again! Also, I've got a lot of weight to lose and a lot of plans for next year so I just want to get to my goal as soon as possible. Xmas will be back round again soon enough and I plan on enjoying myself just without food and booze.
