Tonya, the average woman gains 5-10 pounds during the holidays. So you are not alone!
There are 3500 calories to a pound. It takes 48 hours for the extra calories to turn to fat. So if you eat 750 calories less than usual for the next two days, you'll come out even! That should make you feel better about yourself!
Now be happy and enjoy the New Year!! :)
U R 107 DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. WE ALL GO CRAZY ON HOLIDAYS. YOUR REALLY DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT BEING PERFECT WITH YOUR EATING JUST ADD LIGHT EXERCISE. YOUR OKAY. DON'T WORRY.
Christmas is done, so now go back to your regular routine tomorrow. Get some friends together and get outside and run around... do what ever exercise or outdoor activity that you normally do in your area. Help work on your home's yard and your neighbors. Ride bicycles if the weather allows. Go swimming or dancing. Keep active. If you keep your muscles toned, you'll burn those extra calories off in no time. Two days of goofing off is not slow death. 99% of why you feel bad right now is because you've been taught to feel bad by 'group think'.
The fact is an *active* teen your age should be taking in @ 1900-2200 calories a day to sustain their bodies brain, major organs, bone and reproductive system growth.
