Well, with the holidays here, my food temptations have increased a hundred-fold. I'm hoping that moderation is the key. Today at work, besides being "Donut Day," someone also brought in homemade brownies. I stood fast on my refusal of Donuts, but the brownies????? Oh no. I had one. I searched the pan for the smallest possible piece and ate that one. Mmmmmman was that good. I'm so glad I had to spend the rest of the day away from those pieces of chocolate crack, because I just don't know how it would have turned out. I could smell them from my desk for cryin' out loud. It's just wrong. Why can't fattening food taste terrible if it's so bad for us, ya know?
Anyway, I keep forgetting to step on the scale in the mornings, but my holiday goal remains the same. No gain - go for a loss - but most importantly, NO GAIN. So that old saying is true in so many ways. "No pain, no gain" also means yes, turning down yummy food may seem like pain, but it's good because it means you won't gain!!
