Time To Eat Less

At a small gathering the other day, I was invited to help myself to the snacks on the coffee table. There was an impressive array of gourmet cookies and six squares of super rich chocolate cake sat directly under my nose. I didn’t eat any of it.

The table which was covered with cookies, wine, cakes, and orange slices. Thank goodness for the orange slices and water, they became my snack.

I’ve made it through the seasonal holidays without sweets before and I know I can do it again. The thing that concerns me now is my overeating. The way I avoided eating sweets on Thanksgiving was to stuff myself so full that I couldn’t have eaten another bite.

Because of constant eating I’ve gained weight. Nothing extreme at this point, but I don’t go a day without feeling completely full. At times when my stomach is completely stuffed, my mouth still wants to taste something sweet and there seems to be only one way to satisfy it. Good thing I’m not listening to my mouth!
