I’m somewhat proud of myself this year following the holidays. I gained a little less than my normal 5 pounds while visiting the in-laws for a week and a half. This time I gained a little over 3 pounds.
I was hoping to keep the holiday weight gain to zero this year but it proved to be wishful thinking. Am I worried about shedding the excess weight?
