Halloween was a bust. Every street light on my road went dark the day before the big day and stayed out for three days. We had not one trick-or-treater. We did, however, have a huge bag of candy. I froze it. Then I ate it frozen. Then I let it thaw out and continued to devour it. Somewhere around the 4000th calorie, I gathered up my resolve and threw it out. I also threw kitty litter on top of it so I wouldn’t be pawing through the trash to get at it.
Congratulations to me for having a tiny bit of self-control!
Now we are faced with seven weeks of eating festivities. The thing is, there are really only three or four days in that seven week period that are bona fide holidays. So I want you to think of this time between now and New Year’s in that way. It is not a continual food fest where you have permission to over indulge. It is instead, a few days of celebration when you can let your guard down. But only for those few days.
To help you, my book, “Win When You Lose: A Guide to Successful Dieting” is free on the Amazon lending library until January 29, 2014. Please check it out. You can locate my book by clicking on the link to the right of this post which says “For More Win When You Lose”: click “Kindle version.” I hope it helps you all stay in control this holiday season. There’s nothing worse than starting out January 2nd with an extra five (or more) pounds to lose.
If all else fails, drop me a note and I will try to talk you down. Or Visit our Facebook page at Win When You Lose and tell me what is happening with you.
Happy Holidays to you all!
