I’m trying to find a happy balance this year, a way of dancing across that high-wire of the holidays.
I don’t want to be so obsessed with staying on track with my food that it’s all I think (and talk) about over Christmas. I don’t want to be hyper vigilant about food and constantly worrying about overeating, eating off plan, or getting back on plan afterwards. I also don’t want to be so nonchalant about the holidays that I don’t pay attention to my food choices and sabotage myself by eating too much sugar or flour that sets me off and triggers my overeating tendencies.
I want to dance along the high wire, but I’m going to do so while keeping my balance and making sure there is a net underneath.

We ALL need a break from a healthy lifestyle at some point, so do whatever you need to do. As long as it doesn’t escalate into something more serious then there’s nothing wrong. I hope your time off went well and you’re back on land again.
Wow, you returned to your blog after 2 years! I’m neglecting mind, as well. I think my whole life is like this, balancing the desire not to regain with the pleasures of living, which often include eating. I gained 4 pounds over the holidays, so I’m apparently very off balance right now.
