Ready or Not Here Come the Holidays!

I am sitting here thinking that it is the end of October already! Before we know it the holidays will be upon us. Thanks to "The News Herald Lighten Up Contest" this will be my first thin holiday. I am looking forward to getting some new clothes. I really need them because I went from a size 16 to a 12 and would like to get to a 8 or 10. What I am not looking forward to is all the FOOD. I can't ever remember a time when I went into the holidays worrying about my weight. I't's just what you are suppose to do..gain weight...news resolution...is to lose it. I need some help and advice on how to tackle these holidays head on! Leave me all your tips and comments below. Thanks!
