>weight gaining from Holiday eating
>think they'll lose it later, but most just keep it on and then repeat the next year
At Pubcon1 I was just coming off a decade-long stint of eating every meal in a restaurant. That was part of the problem, yes, but holiday & travel eating was the other part, probably more than half of it. This is at least the 3rd time I've had to resort to low-carb to reign in my weight. The creep back up *always* started with a combination of food boredom and a big holiday &/OR travel event. With each new session of dieting I've eventually been able to get to a lower weight than the previous diet -which was great- but after the 2nd time or so I started to focus on breaking the cycle --which usually means a lifestyle change. Trouble was, I really liked my lifestyle.
