Account Deleted By User I actually managed to LOSE about a pound and a half over the holidays.  Not only did I maintain my healthy eating habits, but I went on vacation and did much more physical exercise than I normally do.  If you haven't done so, I highly recommend trying to lose at least a pound over the holidays.  Nothing shitlords the fats greater than being able to chime in to a group of cow-workers that are REEEing (or worse, bragging) about how much weight they gained and being able to say that you managed to LOSE weight. The way they react is like telling a 15th century Pope that the Earth revolves around the Sun.  It totally blows their mind that the possibility even exists in the first place.  They get piggered and start asking questions expecting to catch you in a lie, only to get shitlorded even more as you answer honestly.   "How did I do it?  Oh, I went on vacation and walked everywhere because being stuck behind a desk all day doesn't give me enough opportunities to be as physically active as I like.  I also don't like feeling bloated when I overeat, so I ate normal sized portions of food for the holidays just like I normally do." (edit: fixed a typo)
