The Scales Say it all

It started with the Turkey; Thanksgiving--no longer an elegant dinner with family giving thanks for the gifts of the past year, but an all day gorge-fest complete with breakfast for the parade, all-day-grazing snacks for the football games, and a dinner big enough to choke an elephant. Cookies, pies and cakes round out the night. Let's not even talk about all the drinking that goes on. Here's what I weighed before the holiday's started...

Now it's early January and the holiday decorations are stored away, the Christmas cards filed, the presents all tucked neatly in their new places. The season has been a roller-coaster ride of office parties, lunches out with old friends, and dinners out with new friends. Egg-nog, chocolate, sugar cookies, and nut breads are sitting out everywhere, calling you from your work-desk or sitting on your holiday platter at home. Christmas dinner is sumptuous and rivals Thanksgiving. New Year's day is like taking all your food and drink intravenously. By the time it's all over, this is what the damage is...enough said?

I'd write more, but I have a pizza bread in the oven.
