Rachel McAdams gives up diet during the holidays

Los Angeles: Hollywood actress Rachel McAdams refuses to watch her waistline during the holiday season as she feels family feasts are a good excuse to break her strict diet.

The Notebook star loves indulging in forbidden sweets and treats while joining her family and friends at the dinner table for gatherings, insisting "it's really all family and food".

And she's banned herself from feeling bad about packing on pounds, reported Us magazine.

"I love to eat... Not every day is a holiday, you know?" said McAdams.
