After four consecutive days of gorging myself at holiday get-togethers (two of which included a progressive dinner and a full-scale recreation of Thanksgiving dinner), I told Andy that I am on holiday detox. If we get any more treats, I'm taking a bite and then throwing the rest away. I have no qualms about wasting food to benefit my waistline. Despite my intentions, tonight I had so much to eat that I must chronicle my gluttony. This feels very Bridget Jones-esque.
In addition to the soft tacos we had for dinner, for "dessert" I had:
A bowl of soup
A big bowl of bacon and blue cheese salad
Two graham crackers
A large piece of bread with honey
Four Hershey miniatures (two with peanuts, two without)
Two bowls of raisin bran cereal
A glass of Crystal Light
I'm just going to roll over to the fridge now and spray Cheez Whiz straight into my mouth.

Don't just blame it on the holidays, blame it on those womanly hormones too! You need to use all the excuses you can to your advantage. I'm feeling your pain as I've had one too many sugar cookie, piece of chocolate, etc as well. That said, I think we're going out to dinner tonight (belated b-day thing...).
I'm glad to see a new post too!
I know just what you mean! our neighbors just brought over an assortment of cookies and I had to take a bite (or two or three)out of each one- how could I not? There were at least 12 different cookies! I, unlike you, do not have the willpower to throw them away after just one bite. Then just to stop myself from eating all of the sugar cookies we made yesterday, I brushed my teeth and gargled with mouthwash so that even if I tried to eat more sweets, they would taste disgusting. So far, so good. We'll see how the next hour goes.
Ah, I love a good binge. Have you considered trying out for the national hot dog eating contest...because I have. I can pack it up, pack it in! Last night we made chocolate-covered pretezels for my cholos and I've decided everyone needs cholos they can pawn their unwanted calories off on (that's horrible English)!
i can definitely relate. i think all of us have times like that! don't worry-- i'm sure your waist is as trim as ever!
Oh, Nollie... that made me laugh out loud, especially the cheez whiz part. I had a very hilarious mental picture of you doing that. :) Sometimes I want to say "Happy Fatmus" when people give us treats for Christmas. What is it about
I'm so truly jealous of your ablitiy to graze. Don't be ashamed!! It's a gift, a precious gift.
