Oh! I'm excited! My relatives from distant places will gather together in our hometown next week and perhaps they will spend their vacation with us until next year. Oh this gonna be a great family bonding. But I'm a little worried about my weight. I'm sure I will gain an extra pounds for this. Everybody's planning for the food that they need to prepare. The traditional crispy yummy lechon or roasted pig, Hams countless cookies,macaroons, cakes. Can we eat these foods without worrying much?

Lit, i think you should be happy with your family gathering. Since it is one of the most important event of the year, you shouldn't be worried about anything. Of course during family gathering, we tends to eat a lot. After the gathering is over, we can return to usual, start our dieting session again. Same goes for me here, have the fun of eating a lot during this season and will start my dieting session starting from January onwards....

Why not try sending me those food especially lechon so that you won't worry much about gaining more weight? I need about 15 lbs more. Seriously, this is a common problem this season. I think that it is alright to eat those food but in moderate intake especially fatty food.

LOL... Are you really that conscious with the foods you eat? Well, for some point I was like you. I am 31 with 4 children and I really don't like to be fat not because I am body conscious but because I am keeping myself to be healthy for my family. I don't want to die because of too much cholesterol or because of hypertension and large enlargement. Well, in your case... Just enjoy your family gatherings and enjoy the foods too but don't forget to be prepared of doing lots of exercises to gain a healthy body. Sometimes, it is fun to eat and eat but we need to discipline ourselves with the right thing for our own good.
