I confess – I had too much to eat on Thanksgiving. I had planned for the possiblity of indulging a little bit by exercising earlier in the day. This usually works without fail. However, Thanksgiving Day was different.
There was just too much delicious food hanging around and beckoning my taste buds into savoring all of the wonderful flavors of the day! It was the desserts that did me in. I have always had a sweet tooth, which I can keep under control by being mindful of portions. However, Thanksgiving was the exception, I abandoned any control and let all hell break loose. It all started with the gourmet chocolate was downhill from there. I went home and nursed my belly ache by changing into comfortable pajamas and heading for bed early.
The next morning I awoke and forfeited my usual breakfast because I was so full! I finally felt better mid day and concluded that I can’t make a habit of overeating even though it’s so tempting!
My next test is New Year’s. I’m going to stick with eating what I need, despite what my mind may advise or attempt to convince me otherwise.
