Abigail Einstein, 28, chef

EINSTEIN SAYS: "My family has a huge gathering on Thanksgiving and an even bigger one on Christmas. Food plays a major role in both days. I love stuffing and potatoes, but I don't usually go overboard. I try to remind myself that it's not like these foods cease to exist after December 25! I think it's the idea that you only have one chance to eat them that makes people go crazy over the holidays." PEEKE SAYS: "Abby should be very proud. She's down 97 pounds from her heaviest weight and down 36 pounds since the makeover. What's most important now is that Abby sustains her dietary habits and adds intensity to her workouts. Food is Abby's biggest challenge; over the holidays, she needs to pay attention to portion size and extra snacking. It's fine for her to treat herself to stuffing if she wants it, as long as she's honest about what a healthy serving size is." HOLIDAY GAME PLAN: "It's just one day out of the year, but that doesn't mean I need to eat myself sick," Einstein says. "To me, saying no completely to anything makes it more desirable. Dr. Peeke made the analogy of food being like sweaters: If a taste of foie gras is a $3,000 cashmere sweater, then a McDonald's cheeseburger is a wool sweater from a discount outlet. It's better to have one really beautiful sweater than a hundred cheap, itchy ones. All along, I've stayed motivated by not depriving myself. I love stuffing and gravy, and I plan to eat a little bit of both this season."
