*** I originally posted this last year but it is worth a re-mention and it very relevant to me given the fact that I have been at xbmchallenge boot camp for the past few months getting my ass kicked and there is nothing more important to me than keeping off the weight / inches and body fat that I have lost 
Original Post December 2008:
I struggle so much this time of year with “food” self control so in an effort to keep my “weight” in check this holiday season I decided to try something new. I will be adopting a saying stated below that I heard last night on the “Biggest Loser”… So when all those sweets and treats starts rolling in I will be repeating this one in my head over and over and over again… :)
Food will never taste as good as Thin feels……

I am right there with you Cathy. I lost 70lbs after the birth of my second child and have recently (thanks to my food blog) gained 13 back. I am back on the WW wagon. I love your saying - I’ll be saying it a lot over the holidays.
Hey…that was on my mom’s fridge at Thanksgiving time!!!
That has been my mantra for the past year! I really think it has helped me get down a little more than 40 pounds. Woo-hoo!!
Good mantra to recite. This time of year there is a battle between this voice and my internal brat that says–”I want cookies–it’s Christmas!” So far this year the brat is winning!

That is a good mantra….The holidays make it really tough to refrain from indulging in food goodness.
Now that is a GREAT mantra! And I will certainly be using THAT this month!
This mantra is going to help me a lot this holiday season. Thanks Cathy.
