How was your Christmas?
This isn't about how many presents you got. This is about how you dealt with the holiday dinner. The pies, the cakes, the alcohol. How did you do?
For many people, the holidays aren't over, over. After all, New Year's Eve/Day have their own issues. At the same time, Christmas is a good marker. If you've done well so far, you probably can finish it well. If not, there are health clubs with wintertime specials.
I had a few of my mother's chocolate chip cookies. But otherwise, I was pretty good over the holidays. I even went for a walk on Christmas Day. Not a huge one, because my mother's neighborhood has no sidewalks, and there's always the threat of a dog or two. But I did feel better for the effort.
And if you did indulge, you just have to fix it. You can't go back and change what you ate/drank. All you can do is work on it from this point.
