This has been a VERY difficult few days for me! Everything, I mean EVERYTHING, I see is about some special holiday food. I answered a silly online quiz today with Thanksgiving as my favorite holiday. and it’s all b/c of the food. Growing up, the meal was an event…all the traditional sides. Green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, dressing, broccoli-rice casserole (is this traditional), sweet potatoes, rolls, and the can-shaped lump of cranberry sauce. And I liked it all. Let me re-phrase–I LOVED it all…still do.
oh, the holiday desserts, cookies, bread, etc. My mouth is watering as I type.
Thanksgiving is all about partaking in as much of this yummy as possible, and then going back for “Just a little bit more”. Oh. my. gosh. Maybe if I had these things more often, I would feel the need (and I mean NEED) to overindulge…but, then they wouldn’t be as special…sigh…
So, the question is, do I throw caution to the wind and eat what I want tomorrow? Or stick to my “gettin’ healthy” strategy and eat in moderation? One could argue that if it’s getting healthy I’m after (instead of JUST losing weight) then I should figure out a strategy for enjoying my favorite foods in moderation. Hmmm….
I know I’m going to have a hard time sleeping tonight….I’m just soooo excited!
