hi everyone. still on a flat trajectory! and now with Christmas approaching a little bit of reverse might happen
.can't be a good boy all the time
. i have a head cold which is not helping, (thanks to the lovely damp Irish weather). no matter i will hit the new year with a vengeance! i can actually do a couple of chin ups
.so a happy Christmas and peaceful new year to you all and i hope Santa comes 
Happy christmas to you too mate. And congrats on the chin-ups, it's one of the hardest exercises you can ever do, and it's also one of the best benchmarks for upper body strength.
In regards to the diet, I wouldn't beat yourself up too much. I've recently been indulging in far too many sweets and breads, and the love handles are on their way. Such is life.
I tend to go in cycles, for a few months it's really easy to eat like a caveman, but then for a few weeks I get hooked on carbs. However, I find that when my diet goes crazy, I still have my fitness to focus on, so even though I might be enjoying too many sweets, I can still focus on getting better times/scores on my exercise, and let the diet sort itself out later.
We live in a land of abundance, with food being pushed at us from every angle - it's almost surreal. It would be inhuman to be 100% controlled all the time. And frankly, such people bore me... I can't identify with such rigid self control, it's unnatural.
So my words of advice would be; focus on your achievements in fitness, and worry about the diet later. Enjoy life.
PS Intermittently fasting is great when you feel like you've been chugging down too many bad foods for a while
