The 4 F's of Christmas

Faith, Family, Friends, Food.

  OK so I get the first 3  but.... FOOD.... Why is FOOD always a big part of all family and friends get togetheres?? Not just at Christmas and New Years but all year long.  It makes me crazy.  Summer we invite friends over to cook out.... winder we invite friends over for chili and football.... Spring we do big easter dinners... and not to mention New years , Thanksgiving.. and Christmas,  FOOD FOOD FOOD  where does it end... LOL  No wonder we're all fat.. LOL  

I love me some food now dont get me wrong but I try to be good!!  Now I guess they call this a raunt hu??  LOL  Sorry I couldnt resist myself.

How do we change this?? LOL 

Ideas?? 

 

Good luck changing things... food has been the center of celebrations and mourning since biblical times.  It's a part of our being.

The difference is now we pig out every day  and back then people nearly starved the rest of the year and only feasted on those special occasions.

They did not have a super value menu back then. Plus they did physical labor, and didn't sit behind a desk all day.

Not necessarily trying to change things.. Its just frustrating that ever time I talked to someone today onthe phone we were talking about what food to bring here and what to bring there.  Its like crap.. cant I just come or we jsut visit and not bring food.  Sometimes talking about it just gets to me cause there are things that I want and cant eat.  Making candy last night with a frined was not too bad but then today on top of that just set me free. 

I understand. When I came into the office this morning fresh baked cookies were at the receptionist desk beside my mailbox, Coffee cake and pigs n a blanket were in the breakroom when I went to get my morning water, and to top it off we had pizza and wings for our office Christmas party!!!!I was like 6 mos pre-op diet... what diet???

These next few weeks will be a challenge. I think DFCS is the fattest employer in the state!!!

NO I think this time of year everyone is like that.  Its frustrating at the least.  Especially when I find myself thinking about it constantly when before I didnt every moment of every day.  It make me want things that I didnt really want before you know what i mean... rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr  Tis the season I guess hu?? LOL  Hang in there together we can get past this!!  I HOPE>>> LOL
