I did NOT participate. I did not go into a feeding frenzy. It could have been a another free day. But for me, it was not worth another week of not seeing the scales gradually decrease their numbers as I stood on them each day expectantly. Again, I ate nothing except those items which I knew were acceptable on my personal menu to a new me.
Holidays are easier to survive than an ordinary day.
Proof to me that will power is definitely associated with boredom, television, and simply bad habits. At my age, wrinkles appear when and where least expected. OR it's from lack of use. The elasticity in my skin has more than likely disappeared - another negative or side effect of the aging process. The morbidly obese would probably have no choice but to have the excess skin removed.
