Have you ever been on a diet and you find yourself in a room surrounded by amazing holiday foods, that you get to enjoy just once or twice a year? WOW! That was my today:) All I can say is YUMMM!
Today, I knew that I would be celebrating the promotion of my friend Sue, and gathering with our friends. I also knew that this day would be 12 hours of creative time, a big special luncheon and snacks on the buffet that would go on for miles. Everything looked great and what a big treat! What did I do?
First, I had a plan. I had the breakfast that I have all week. Even though I was running busy, I knew that I had to stick with the plan. If I set myself up with a plan, I could follow through with it. If I went into it giving myself permission to do anything, that is when disaster would strike. I decided that I would have a couple little treats during the day too. For lunch, we had an awesome stroganoff. I had less noodles, and less in portion. Of course, I had a small piece of Sues celebration cake too. But not overdoing it, which was important. I felt like I was in conrol and did a good job. Its ok to live while you are changing the way you think about the foods you eat. Enjoy life, and let yourself live it!
