Too much Happy! Too much Thanksgiving! I am sure that the first Thankful ones in this country couldn't boast that they were as full as I was. I worked and thought that it was my "due" to eat too much. Thank God, especially for grace and mercy, when I have eaten more than I should, or ever have. Dear friends, grown children, loving interaction, no arm babies and the ingredients mean, I forgot to think before I ate.
I think every previous Thanksgiving I have had a "knife" to my throat. Either as a child the reminders to say "no, thank you or trying not to embarrass my husband or children eating too much, in front of company; not this year. It was just the food and fun and everything was laid out so beautifully! I will make up for it and work out and diet for the entire rest of the season. I have been carrying diet foods to work now that my stomach is expanded past all reasoning. I love the joy of the season. But I enjoyed the food and the cooking and the season entirely too much.
Today's joy was a pastry delight cooked by my grown Elyse called sweet potato crackers. They went well with the yogurt for my lunch. I was still hungry though? What to do with an extended apetite after Thanksgiving...
Get on the stationary bike! Good idea!
Now to plan my eating strategem for Christmas?
Where is my self discipline when I need it?
I have the same problem for whatever reason my appetite is on a rampage. I want chocolate and chips and cookies. What is helps me is to drink tea and eat fruits when really hungry I have started painting which seems to really address the hunger~ I lose myself in the colors. your life is beautiful Jayne, it is the grace of God.
