Confession time.....who else committed a classic pigout?

[Lone Clone]

LC has been following the Weight Watchers regimen -- or "regiment" to some posters here -- since mid-April, with only a few slips. May have undone it all the past couple of days. My side of the family was at our house.

Meals, themselves, weren't overly destructive. Chili on Christmas Eve; pork tenderloin wrapped in prosciutto, green bean casserole, candied carrots, potatoes au gratin for Christmas dinner; rye bread, egg and smoked cheddar strata for breakfast today, with toasted homemade brioche.

Unfortunately, one of our family traditions involves baking and candy-making. I ate so many biscotti, cookies, tartlets, mincemeat pie crescents, etc., plus a helping of Alton Brown's caramelized grape pie, that I fully expect to have gained 5 pounds when I do my weekly weigh-in Monday morning. I have linked the pie recipe here before; in terms of nutrition, you might just as well stick a straw in a bottle of Wesson oil and suck away.

Anybody else also too stuffed to move?

In progress.

Ongoing.

The shame is only being held at bay by booze.

I don't work again until the 4th, so the binge and bender will continue.

I was down almost 20 since the summer. I'd been a slug post baby so I started tracking my food and doing crossfit. Then I came to AZ and my mom started shoveling the food to us. Not one huge meal but more of a continuous snacking.

Easy to see how my dad got the nickname Big Don from us. Weigh in next week isn't going to be pretty......

Sorry thought this was a beastiality thread...

i don't gorge myself just because of a holiday. Although, the next two months I will probably be a little glutinous. In March I am going through a weight loss program through Unity Point, so I will be on a very strict calorie intake and diet the first 1/2 of the program before the diet portion of the program expands.

Damn Lone....pork tenderloin wrapped in prosciutto! How can that be sinful or bad for one's health!

Damn man.....MODERATION! That is the key........tenderloin and prosciutto....that's basic diet.

Hang in there...keep up the effort...and Happy New Year!

I am doing okay. 45 minutes on the elliptical machine each of the last two days, plus 2 mile walks each day.
Next Friday will be a different situation. Food all damn day long and football.

Yes. This is my favorite week of the year.

I'm pretty slim and trim for a guy my age (6'5", 230) but unfortunately a fair amount of that 230 lb is tummy. I went to a kind of dress up event a couple of months ago and the only thing I could wear was a 44 XLong sport jacket which was noticeably snug, primarily because of tummy. I have a couple of suits and three sport coats in the closet that are 42's and I'm pretty sure I'll never get in them again. I theoretically could, but I probably won't lose the weight. I think my answer will be to buy a bigger jacket if another such event ever comes up.

One advantage is that I really don't enjoy sweets all that much but I hit the meat and stuffing and gravy pretty hard. In addition, over the last 4 days I've gone through a half gallon of egg nog with sufficient rum to make it taste right. Maybe I'll hit the scale tonight and see how bad it went.

I don't want to get into the old WOB thing, but......this is a nice switcheroo, mixing "glutton" and "glutin."

Went out yesterday with BIL to a few establishments. Drank and ate way too much. It was great!

 

[unIowa]

Food wise I was just fine but I probably took down a handle of JD The past 3 days.

 

[Pepperman]

I ate way too much yesterday. Had a Hynese 2-entree meal for lunch which was going to be my only big meal. Problem was we lost power for about 10 hours so I couldn't do anything in house for dinner. Ended up at a Mexican place eating a giant burrito and basket of chips, with a shot of tequila that they for some reason comped us.

I usually put on a couple of pounds this time of year in spite of the fact that I spend plenty of time at the gym. I plan on losing it when we spend a week in Disney World where I won't be able to afford to eat. I am saving my money for the liquids.

college football is a dumpster fire, world politics and the usa political game is tiresome, let us talk about food

That's interesting. I'd have thought "gluttonous" would have worked. But now that I've typed it, it doesn't look right. Probably would be best to write around it: "I don't usually gorge myself, but this time of year I may be a bit of a glutton."

But don't worry. This will not be on the Final.

I ate enough crab legs to fill up a family of seals.

You sure he knows the difference?

 

[Buffhawk]

I have gorged and I will continue through New years Day. Then I need to get to work and lose some BMI!

 

[The Tradition]

I ate so much on Christmas that I was horribly uncomfortable until the next day.

Ah, good times.
