Amidst scouring the internet/mall/closest Toys for Tots bin for the best holiday sales, we all have a decision to make. What are we going to wear for Christmas/hanukkah/Kwanza/New Year’s Eve/53 Days ‘Til President’s Day? Despite declaring that we were not going to have another fat christmas…we feel like there’s at least a possibility that we could have a fat-ish Christmas. What to do? Buy a new outfit in a bigger size? Cram into something we already own?

Rebecca and I are probably going to opt for cramming. Buying something in a bigger size feels like giving up. We. Will. Never. Give. Up. Never. Surrender. But, our Christmas outfits are tight and a constant reminder that we’re still a few pounds from goal weight.

So…we do Christmas Old School. We throw on some Spanx, suck it in and eat light.

Fair warning though…nothing dampens the holiday spirit like projectile nog.
