Christmas is 24 days away. If you don’t celebrate Christmas (you lucky dogs you!!!), 2010 is just 30 days away. Where are you on your weight loss goals? Have you faithfully stuck to your eating and exercise goals and toned your bulbs right off? Are you ready to party like it’s 2009?

Yeah…neither are we…er…not so much. We put on a brave Atkins Induction front just before Halloween, but have been outflanked by leftover candy corn and pumpkin pie.

Let’s band together again, Ladies and Gents. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, New Year’s or anything in between., it’s going to be about feast and family. Wine and whining. Thinning wallets and thickening waists. But, not this year. Put down the leftover stuffing and gravy (seriously, it’s got skin and hair on it by now) and grab some gum and water. By December 25^th we’ll have either dropped or maintained our current weight or we’ll wear that oversized fuzzy X-mas sweater our Aunt Lottie knitted for us special (and seriously, that’s got skin and hair on it by now).

So say it with us now… NOT ANOTHER FAT CHRISTMAS.  Say it at breakfast when the toaster strudel and cinnamon lattes are calling.. NOT ANOTHER FAT CHRISTMAS… say it in the afternoon to stave off the Russell Stovers your co-workers haul out…NOT ANOTHER FAT CHRISTMAS…say it after dinner when you want to settle down with a tub of Ben and Jerry’s to watch the Biggest Loser finale.. NOT ANOTHER FAT CHRISTMAS… say it when you’re shuttling to shop and you’re too busy to exercise.. NOT ANOTHER FAT CHRISTMAS!
