[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1944243, member: 401801"] If I fall off the wagon, I have to get back into ketosis again, which is usually rough. And if my BS goes high I'm prone to panic attacks, which I really don't need around that many familymembers. I had a hand in all christmas menu's this year (Home with a friend, home with mom, at mom's and at my inlaws), so I know there's plenty for me to eat without missing out. That said: My husband and I have an agreement. There'll be loads of good stuff I can't actually have anymore, but [I]he[/I] can. And I can have a tiny little nibble of his petit fours etc, just for the taste. That's usually enough, and won't wreck my bloodsugars and carb-allowance. If I wasn't in ketosis though, I would probably indulge at the end of the party, when everyone's going home and I can help "get rid" of leftovers... But no, not this year. I don't want to go into the new year with keto-flu. Loads of people indulge for the day, though, and if you keep testing... Knock yourself out...! For me personally, the price is a little too high. (I do NOT want to weep in front of 12+ familymembers! And I'm prone to, if my bloodsugars go up. Anything'd set me off, good or bad, and it's been a rough year for all of us, so that'd be almost unavoidable then). I just figure, if you have a good time at Christmas, then it's fine. And if you don't have to keep an eye on yourself for such partypoopers as panic attacks and keto flu, then hey... It's all good! [/QUOTE]
