To be blunt..then don't let yourself down.
Yes, I think that is a worry most of us have
You will findpeople have all sorts of different coping mechanisms, from deciding to have a few days of total blowout, or just one day, or just one meal, or staying totally on track.
My method is to plan and prep an absolutely delicious low carb indulgent extravaganza for Xmas day, and then pretend Xmas doesn't exist for the days running up and after. I often get given chocolate by friends and family, but the message is slowing getting though that I only like the good quality dark stuff. And then I get to eat v small quantities of it every day for a couple of months.
No need to wreck Xmas by feeling either ill, or feeling guilty. But it does help to give it some planning beforehand.
There's all sorts of ways to get through Christmas... I usually have a hand in the menu at both sides of the family, so.... Plenty of meat, veggies, fish, eggs, olives, nuts and cheese when I'm around.
I just have larger helpings of those and skip the filling, spuds and bread. Buckets of tea, especially Christmas Blends...! The only thing that's getting to me a little this year seems to be chocolate, but I keep finding bars that suit my needs, somehow. (Manna from heaven!). All in all though, you could just cut loose for a day/meal. It might trigger carb cravings for a day or two, but you've beaten those before. All up to you. Just remember, if you do indulge, do NOT regret it afterwards, and no kicking of oneself. Just enjoy it thoroughly, to the point where your toes wriggle with pleasure. Once a year won't kill you, after all.
Do you mean as in Fasting Blood Glucose (first reading in the morning before any food is taken) or fasting as in not eating?

That was my confusion. Fasting to me was going longer than normal before eating something. Having read your response and other threads, people use fasting to describe the normal period of time between meals.
