Tight Pants for Christmas
Posted on 25 December 2009
Christmas is a barrage of great tasting, fat-filled foods that no woman or her pants can stand up to.
I like to think Christmas is a time of connecting with family, remembering why the holiday exists in the first place, purchasing and wrapping gifts, and some quiet moments of rest…but let’s have a moment of honesty. It’s a good excuse to eat everything you know you shouldn’t.
Cookies, candies, chocolate covered anything and everything, cakes, nuts, caramel corn, and pies are lurking all over the place.
A woman who is trying to eat ‘Primally‘ has no hope of success over Christmas unless she has a will of iron. I forgot to ask Santa for that this Christmas.
Every Christmas my family vows to eat healthy and go for a run together every morning.
I last for one to two days at the most.
Then the sleeping in and sloth-like habits take over from sugar-induced comas.
At this point, we all WANT to be good, but can’t…
DL – Hey guys. Ummm….are we going for a run today?
Thinner Family Member – Well, we are supposed to…perhaps later?
DL – Yeah. Sure. LATER it is.
Then when later comes, I am conveniently busy with a piece of cheesecake and just can’t go for a run. Shoot!
Every year I get the SAME THING for Christmas – tight pants.
My question is – who ISN’T vowing to go on a diet tomorrow?
PS – I just ate my last *wink* peanut butter and chocolate cookie…
