holiday game plan
This holiday season, instead of beating myself up over the many sinful things I will be eating and how bloated my stomach will get, I will be applying
5 main strategies to be able to indulge in guilt-free pleasure:
- Wear garterized pants/skirts/shorts.
- Develop (AND IMPLEMENT) an exercise regiment for the next two months and sustain it (for life). I’m not getting any younger and this is really more for general health/fitness (physical and psychological) reasons, not just for the holidays. Plus, I want to live to eat another day (tests show my cholesterol level is already sky high for my age). There’s a lot of good food out there I haven’t even tasted. I need all the time I can get to eat them before my teeth fall out or my doctor forbids me.
- Eat everything and anything I want but not to forget to get at least a serving of fruits and vegetables. Hey, some of them taste good too. But the main thing is they’ll help me digest better which means more space to get more servings in at another celebration.
- Look at the anorexic people in fashion magazines and eat in their honor.
- Tell people I’m pregnant and eating for 2. Instead of curbing by appetite in the presence of abundance and feeling bad when I look at my swollen tummy, I might as well go for broke, celebrate, and utilize my own ‘abundance’ as a fast and easy way of making people who comment about how much food I have on my plate get off my case… Or I can always say (loudly) that I have worms and if other people lose their appetite, hey, more food for me.
Bring on the buffets!
