Yesterday was Thanksgiving Day, and as tradition dictates, one overeats. It's a feast day and so I feasted. I didn't go as far overboard as I have in years past, but did have pie and ice cream and more fat than I usually have considering the green bean casserole with its French Fried Onions. The corn bread also added some fat as did the gravy and the eggnog.
But now the challenge becomes can I take a short detour and get back on the road quickly? This is the big problem and the reason that "the holidays" become October through February. We food addicts make a big excuse that carries us right through the holiday period--like a four-month pass that allows us to eat whatever we want. I'm going to try to thwart that impulse this year. If I do, the payoff will be in control and also in future short-term indulgences.
I know--I've tried this before to no avail. But I can't give up. What will my reward be? I have to think about that some. It should be something substantial. We'll see.
Meanwhile, I'm going to try to confine my overeating to supper time, but only because there is pie, casserole and eggnog left to eat.
