Christmas Cookies out the ears!!!

Ok everyone, It's that time of year.     The time of year when your office gets so full of cookies, and candies, and treats that customers, patients, vendors, and co-workers have given to you.   The time of year when every day there's a new platter of christmas food out in the kitchen.  Time to make so many batches of cookies that they start coming out of your ears.  DON'T GIVE IN!!!    No matter how delicious...  no matter how amazingly tempting...   STEP AWAY FROM THE FOOD!!   You don't need any of it.   It's evil and gross and will more than likely send you to the toilet for hours, make you sick, and give you horrible diarrhea.   (Do you want to take that chance??  I sure don't!)   Last time I checked, I can still remember what chocolate chip cookies taste like.   I remember what chocolate, and candy, and whatever else is on those platters...   I remember what it all tastes like!!!    I remember also shoving handfulls of M&M'S in my mouth that I would swallow in a matter of seconds sitting on my 390+ lb behind wishing I was thin. Or filling up my plate on christmas day, and tucking myself away somewhere so no one could see how much I was eating.   And now here I am, capable of avioding temptation.    Dare I say more in control than all those other people who feel the need to eat two dozen cookies at a time, and pick from the chocolate tray, and snack on things all day so "it won't go bad"    because well..  after all it is christmas!    No way.   I've been there...   Christmas isn't about food.  It isn't about cookies, or candy, or eggnog, or cakes, or eating the most at christmas dinner.   Christmas is about sharing time with those you love.   Cherishing the time you have each and every single day.   Celebrating another year.   Food no longer defines us.    We're finally free from all that to just ENJOY the holidays.  Maybe for the first time ever.  I vow not to eat one single cookie, candy, or anything else I know will harm my progress so far.   There will be plenty of other healthy food around to keep me satistfied.   Besides...   What's a party without a vegetable or meat tray   I'm going to sit back, eat something small, and enjoy the time I have with my family.  The most important thing of all!   Who's with me??? 

     Success is a journey... not a destination!

I wish I could say I had the stength to say no to it all. But I've caved and had a bite here and there. You inspire me!!
