I just had to ask:  I know some of you probably will diet during the holiday's or maybe not even eat at all. Are you afraid of gaining weight over the holiday's, or are you going to stuff yourself?

PS.  If you can easily gain weight please pass the weight over here, or tell me how I can. Help!

Same here. When I was younger I tried everything I could to gain. Now I realize its genetics and I'm happy to know I will most likely be forever skinny. smile

afraid or not, statistics say, over time, most all of us will.

hmm. we see the evidence and yet, how many can say we actually try to maintain an active lifestyle past high-school? past college? women, past pregnancy?

reality check anyone?

I'm not afraid of it, it's a certainty.. my mother's cooking is just that good! I live in Canada though so there's a 2 month break between major food holidays (Thanksgiving's in October for us) so it's not a big deal.... nothing a bit of exercise wouldn't cure.

I've been walking 5 miles each day instead of eating lunch, so I'm not immediately afraid of gaining weight.

I'm more or less the same size and weight no matter what I eat, because I love to work out.

Yes.  I was a fat kid and I hated it.  I control my size/weight very well now.  Funny I always lose weight around the Holidays instead of gaining.  I think it's a rebellion thing.

I guess everyone is kinda scared of gaining weight. I think I have really fast metabolism cos I seriously eat alot (more than alot of guys I know) and I don't exercise but I don't seem to gain weight very easily. That being said, I'm not stick thin, I carry a bit of 'extra' weight here and there but I think having a naturally petite frame helps me look small.

I'm only 19, and my weight fluxuates about 7lbs a month, up and down - don't know why - it just does! But I always fit into my clothes and in a way I think I'm lucky - I know that with my gentetic heritage I'm never going to be skinny - so i don't feel any pressure to be - but if I'm sensible (i.e i don't eat an entire pack of cookies), then it would be pretty hard to get fat. I hate exercise also - soooo much. Give me a night in with my boyfriend and I'd say that would be enough exercise for me, or anyone ;-)

The holidays are a time for food - lets face it everything else sucks - the pressure of finding the right presents and the family arguments (don't pretend there aren't any!) so you might as well let yourself off for a couple of days and enjoy yourself!

Happy thanksgiving to all the Yanks out there!

I'm not scared on putting on a few pounds, I'd rather enjoy myself and then just be careful with what I eat and do more excercise afterwards.

I am pretty active and typically no matter what I eat I remain around the same weight. I have always had a high metabolism. Even after having two kids. So I don't stress over gaining weight. Wouldn't mind a couple more pounds.

I don't want to gain weight. But I will stuff myself silly. I love food. I love the winter air so I plan to go on lots of walks and hikes. Should help keep the mince pies at bay. But if it doesn't, at least I will be thankful that I have eaten well, and enjoyed every morsel!!

I don't understand your post.  Are you asking people if they're afraid to gain weight and that if they don't want their weight, to "bring it here"? 

Thanksgiving is a holiday, so I'm going to eat.  It's really only one day of eating a lot, so I doubt I'll gain any weight -- most people don't.  If you exercise regularly to help keep your metabolism up and working, you'll be fine.

LOL.

Weight gain can easily be avoided with self-restraint and exercise.

I always have a _little_ bit of everything, including pie. :p

I was overweight at school too. And I was affraid to gain pounds back for some time. But after being very slim and getting a habit of regular exercising for years, these fears were gone.
Actually a habit of overeating on holidays is gone too smile
I cook a turkey, enjoy some of it, but do not feel like staffing myself at all.

I can eat anything
I usually out eat my guy friends
I do however walk everywhere
and don't drink soda (it makes you retain water)
but its not to stay thin, I just don't want to feel bloated lol

soo if you want to gain weight so desperately
eat fried stuff: fries, chicken, everything else.
drink your soda
sit on your bum
eventually you'll get something

although i'm not sure if you really want to gain weight,
or if you just posted this thread for attention like all the others..

I was afraid until I gained weight, it's not so bad. Get to eat whatever I want smile
But I'm cheap and I do A LOT of walking all over these cities, so I stay relatively thin...

Somewhere recently at breakfast I was served slices of french toast with a little peanut butter and sliced bananas between them.  It was really good!  Definitely will stick to the ribs though.
