Nothing makes me CRAZIER than people who diet on Holidays! Holidays are dedicated to observance and celebration which usually means a good time and a lot of good food! Seriously are you really going to sit back and punish yourself? Gosh I feel sooooo sorry for you but then again you must be on a DIET and well I'm NOT because DIETS are for LOSERS!
My mission on Big Girl Thin is to inspire you to live a long healthy life and to ditch the diet and get with this healthy lifestyle thing. Holidays . . . enjoy them. Special occasions . . . enjoy them. Birthdays . . . enjoy them. Now this does not mean stuff yourself until you feel dazed and confused. It does not mean everyday is a holiday! It means using the tools I have given you and making them work in these scenarios. Remember my recent blog Size Matters, well use it! Yes your calorie count is going to be a lot higher but that's why you can hit your exercise regime a little harder the next couple days. And pah'lease don't complain about the exercise thing, do you want to enjoy the holiday or not?! Ok then. Enough said. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy :)

the true story & advice from a big girl gone thin
The Story
One evening while out at bar a man who was walking by me grabbed my arm and said . . . (drum roll please ) "YOU'RE PRETTY HOT FOR A BIG GIRL." I was so taken back by his statement that I actually had no reaction at all, just total and complete numbness. That was the exact moment I knew I had to do something about my 55 pound weight gain that had gradually taken place over the course of 3 years. (5'3, 175 lbs.)
I had just celebrated my 30th birthday and what in the HELL had happened to my body?! Okay I'll tell you what happened . . . fast food, take out, late night gas station food runs, binge drinking etc. etc. etc. That's what the hell happened! Junk in the trunk, oh yes there was lots! So what did I do? Well obviously I ran out to the nearest book store and bought several 'road to no where' books as I like to call them. You know the ones in the diet/weightloss section and failed miserably in my mission. So I said to myself diets are for LOSERS and I love to WIN so I moved onto plan B! I was not going to diet, all I was going to do was eat healthy. Yes that's it, plain and simple! And so my journey began, I read books based on nutrition, got motivated by the contestants on the Biggest Loser, listened to EVERYTHING Dr. OZ had to say and got my a** moving!
Three years later the weight is still off, I feel better and look better than I ever have in my ENTIRE life! I actually look ten years younger, YES I'm serious! I would like to take a moment to thank that drunk a**hole in the bar and to ALL the men that wouldn't date me when I was a BIG girl I say LOOK AT ME NOW . . . WINK WINK ;)
