Nope, not talking about cereal....I'm talking about my pants!!!! I'm having a déjà vu experience. Have I blogged about this before? Have my pants felt this way before? Why yes, I do believe they have!
I know what's happening. I have attended too many potlucks! My pants are starting to tighten and pretty soon they will pop if I don't stop the potluck madness. My new community LOVES potlucks and quite frankly-- I love them too. I'm in Social Strawberry paradise here. It is so true to watch what you pray for. I've been praying for this type of situation and now that I'm here I need to keep my dieting goals in check. I can tell you I DO NOT want to weigh today but I have to. I have to keep it real.
Here's my dilemma: I have a goal- to lose weight. This is Christmas season and I'm desperately trying to get out of that "It's Christmas season" mentality where I have to eat, eat, eat. Why does Christmas have to be a time of gorging oneself all in the name of Christmas??? Did Jesus pig out around this time? Did Jesus even encourage stuffing our pudgy little faces with fudge and divinity (hey, it has the word "divine" in it, it MUST be spiritual, right?)? I think not!
It is time to start celebrating the birth of our Lord and not the girth of our waistlines. Of course Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, et al, bank on the fact that we will stuff our faces during this time and then make a New Year Resolution to get it all off...quick....with their program.
I say "Put down that fork" now. I am fortunate to have an exercise center at my church. I have not utilized that place; actually I haven't used it at all. Please don't be disappointed in me, Grainiacs. I am the Queen of Excuses. But not anymore. This is my new hot spot...my go-to- place. Now I just have to learn how to use all this equipment. HA
