Halloween is tomorrow. I’m dreading it and have just surrendered my half-witted attempts to cut what I eat before the inevitable candy eating fest that will take place in less than 24 hours. My mind works like this: there is no way that my willpower will get me through two plastic buckets full of suburban candy. I’ll be scarfing it down with the children, grabbing the Twix bars and Reeses cups before those grimy little hands have a chance to claim them. It’s not a pretty sight.
My sledgehammer will be missing in action. I might as well, then, lay the sledgehammer down until the Halloween festivities are over. Why try so hard today when I am just going to negate every positive choice tomorrow night? This is how i think. It is so unhealthy and must change. Christmas is two months away. Should I give up on shedding some weight until THAT is over and just eat like each day is my last until Jan. 1 rolls around? I don’t think so. How can I stop justifying my eating binges with impending holidays/travels/dinner parties, etc… I’ve got to get control of these events so that I can take them off the will power free zone list.
My goal for tomorrow: eat only at the table. This simple goal could change my life.
