Monday and I made it through Mom's house without being totally terrible - we did eat liver (I know, barf to most people) but something I love and only eat once a year or so and Mom always makes it fried... it was really yummy!!! and really bad for me.
I'm also pretty sure the bottle of wine my Dad and I shared on Friday night was probably not calorie free either. That is exactly the problem for me - I am more interested in having fun and drinking the wine than I am in being on a diet. I give in at the moment and then regret it later...
how do you overcome the impulse to eat the cake or drink the wine. Or, do you choose to indulge and enjoy those moments, knowing you may not get the opportunity to have them later. We only have our parents, brothers, sisters, husbands, children, friends for brief moments in time. Do we choose to enjoy and damn the consequences or do we choose differently. Maybe the choice is different for everyone. How do you know which choice is more important for you? I spend a lot of time hating and obsessing over the extra pounds. BUT, I would never trade the times that I have spent with my friends and family - which is many times when I am indulging myself. So, the question is, how do I resist the great food and drink while still enjoying those times with those people. Do I need the food for the fun? Do I need the wine?
Hmmm, something to think about for the night.
