Calories on Special Occasions - Do You Forget About Them?

Here at That's Fit, we're constantly telling you what we think about things, but sometimes it's nice to know what you think. So from time to time, we'll ask you a question. Don't be afraid to speak up -- we love feedback.

Super Bowl Sunday just passed. If you partied, you might have had quite a few temptations to deal with. Potato skins, chips and beer just to name a few. So what is your tactic? Do you have a mental calculator tabulating all the calories you're consuming? Or do you just forget about calories on special occasions?

What's your special occasion strategy?
Forget about the calories. It's only one day.	47 (43.5%)
I don't stress about it, but I only pick my favorites and keep the portions small.	44 (40.7%)
I count the calories with every bite.	17 (15.7%)

people have celebrated a lot and they well-disserved it but now it`s time to pay attention to the body weight as well. Although the holidays have passed, they seem to have left something behind besides interesting gifts: some extra body weight. I read at http://www.projectweightloss.com a few tricks that may be helpful to your weight loss program. These tips may also clean the body from toxins.
