I'm close to my goal weight right now and don't want to undo it all but also don't want to feel like I can't celebrate. My current plan is to not worry about it too much on the celebration days (or weekend in the case of Thanksgiving!) but eat lighter on the other days. Hopefully that will keep it from getting out of control! I've heard fantastic things about Florence Gordon. Enjoy your new books!
