Maintaining during Christmas week is big. I was also able to do the same, but this next week is a bit tricky. There is still a lot of food around the house, especially if you hosted, and a lot less pressure. It's easy to eat mindlessly. Fortunately I am watching my 2 year-old granddaughter, so there is very little sitting.
I married into an Irish family. They are very much into rolls (like every meal). A good Italian bread is a staple in every Italian family, but I have gotten away from that, especially at a holiday meal. I still put out rolls but avoid them completely. The kids who claim not to like anything at the buffet can always stuff themselves with rolls.
And as far as salad, well there's a John Pinette clip for that too. I tend to eat the salad first so that I eat less of the other foods. This helps especially when ordering pizza. I can eat a whole one so I try to have some salad first, and that helps me eat only half the pizza. Of course you have to add your own dressing or it defeats the purpose.
