The holidays are here….the special recipes come out of hiding,the goodies are hiding in tins, our favorite treats come out and show themselves off on our tabletops….countertops…..screaming our names…yum yum yum….it’s that glorious time where the diet and all thoughts of a food plan get tossed out the window.Oh I could bet my very last shortbread  cookie that more than half of us are promising ourselves that come January  we shall let the one of thousand diet plans begin……Yes you’re all agreeing aren’t you? Well….a little peak into my holiday mood this year..please c’mon in! My holiday outfits have shrunk,yes I said shrunk…how could this be possible? Last year they were feeling and looking oh so lovely on me.Well….that’s life in the land of the battle of the scale and the mind.Oh my scale has found a very snug corner in the washroom and it’s pouting….I almost feel it glaring at me.Thats okay too because very soon my feet will be slowly stepping back on gasping from the information that will flash at me……I will then move the scale to another place in the room and try again…..arghhhhhh…NO not those numbers again….the darn numbers I swore would never visit my scale ever,ever,ever again….bastards are back! And so the process begins…..the battle,the promises that we have made time and time again…..c’mon folks you know it,right? By the way who needs a scale…we all have a mirror or two in our homes and well the outfit that barely squeaks on is a sure indication that the scale hasn’t dropped….Well here  I go….I am surrendering to this otherwise what’s the purpose…..we are who we are.We all have our battles! My promise to me is to think health and not be so obsessed with those numbers and that mirror that I always pray is distorted.I am healthy other than my weight and reaching a certain age this is a true blessing….I don’t want to take this for granted so yes in the near future the plan will be to stay heathy and bet my last cookie  that the scale will drop with new hope and the right attitude! Let you not feel alone,any of you out there reading this.We are  where we are and we cannot change this so let us all be grateful and know there is hope tomorrow.Wishing you all a guilt free and wonderful peaceful holiday.From all of me ❤️ Stay tuned….
