As the holiday season moves closer, many of my FB friends (and daughter!) have been posting decadent looking photos and recipes of the most ooey, gooey gain 100 pounds just looking at these desserts. I confess: I start salivating and tasting and smelling them the minute I see them. How can this be? How do our senses play with us like that? Advertisers know this trick. Just watch a commercial about any kind of food or shoes and tell me you don't want one!!! Perfumers understand the magic of smells and odors. I have a plastic box that belonged to my great grandmother. I swear I'm transported back to my childhood and being in her presence every time I open that little box. There is something mystifying about our senses. We must guard them against evil (aka that ooey, gooey concoction that is calling out our names).
This past weekend I succumbed to my Moana senses and got the "I wants." It was easy. I was visiting with a friend and there was a party and laughter and my horrible thinking of "just this one time." Guess what? That one time, turned into one more time the next day and then one more time the next. Thankfully, I did not undo all the good I did the week and a half before but by looking at my tracking, I'm on the road to destruction if I don't detour and get off this vicious autobahn.
Today is Monday and a new week. Time to take charge. vrooom vroooooooom!!!
P.S. Happy Birthday, Jelly Bean!!! Have a beautiful day and safe trip back to NY. Hopefully you remembered to read my blog so you'll see this!
