Normally, today would have been a day to stuff myself with a myriad of excuses and food. But instead we watched a few movies ("Friends With Benefits" and "A Christmas Movie"). I called some very good friends. We skyped our brother-in-law in England. I was finally able to see his lovely wife and daughters. I tinkered around in my office. I listened to my audio book. And, I didn't gain any weight. In fact, I probably lost a bit.
I couldn't think of a better present that I could have given myself than a holiday where I wasn't feeling guilty because I overate. If I were a normal weight and not severely obese, trust me, I wouldn't feel any shame in overeating at Christmas. But being this much overweight and doing that to my self, it's like shooting my self with a sugar bullet.
But, I did well today. And I am feeling good.
I hope your holiday was as good as mine.

Pat,
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your posts. You definitely have a way with words which tintillate the "gustatory" senses–like sugar bullet.
Even though I have yet to start on my juice diet (juicer hasn't arrived), I am prepping myself mentally. Believe it or not, your posts are helping with this prep.
Keep writing. You have the writing gift.
