Every year around the holidays I enter a pretty significant chubbing phase and I sometimes can’t enjoy Thanksgiving or Christmas because I’m worried about how much weight I’m gaining. This year I’m allowing myself to gain 40lbs between Thanksgiving and the first week of January. This way I won’t be stressing out about how much I’m eating or drinking and instead I’ll pretty much just let myself go until work starts again and I’ll just hit the P90X (three a days) until I’m back down to a respectable weight.

Definitely gonna pack a few pairs of sweatpants and my fat jeans for when I go home. Also gonna try to feel less shame about eating an entire pie (which I usually do every Christmas).
