The buzz word this holiday starts with a "C" as in candy, cookies, cake and chips. I eat anything chocolate - I search the pantry for crackers - I drive to Burger King for a double cheeseburger. I've been bad, oh so very bad. There is no controlling myself (another great "C" word).
The holiday food is all around me. At work there are three types of candy on the reception desk. At home my husband baked 9 dozen cookies and laid them out all over the kitchen counter to cool. I thought I had died and gone to chocolate chip heaven.
My pants are tight. My chin now has a double. I scream in terror when I see the digital scale in the upstairs bathroom. I am afraid. I am very afraid to weigh myself and see the damage I've done to my 5'7" frame. No one twisted my arm, nor did they pry my mouth open and dump in fudge and divinity. Its the holiday season and somewhere along the line I gave myself license to eat anything in sight.
So I will drink a lot of water, ride the exercise bike another extra mile or two, find my size 10 pants and place the scale in the basement until the new year. I will wear Xmas ornament earrings until Santa is gone - all in an effort to keep folks focused on my ears and not my double chin.
HO-HO-HO and happy holidays to all.
