Gratitude Day 17

I'm grateful for food. Yes. I eat. I'm not anorexic. Yes. I have recently experienced a little weight loss. You go through my recent stress and see if your body doesn't change a little. This just happens to be how my body responds to stress. Fine. Sometimes I don't eat as much or as often as I should. Once again, when I'm stressed, I just don't have much of an appetite. But I do like to eat. And I'm not some kind of health freak. Granted, I don't have as much of a sweet tooth as others, but we all have our weaknesses. One of mine just came back for the holidays...White Chocolate Covered Oreos.

I could eat boxes and boxes of these.

I do have fairly decent self control.  And I have been exercising lately(as in yesterday and then I'm trying a Zumba class today). And yes. I would like to stay thin. Not THIS thin, but thin.

I'm particularly excited about tonight's dinner.  My mom is making Cafe Rio Pork.  Really tasty!  I'll only eat one.  But not because I'm watching my weight.  Because the tacos are really big and that's all I can eat without wanting to vomit. I'm pretty sure that dish would be very unpleasant in reverse.

So yes. Today I am grateful for food. I'm excited for the holiday season because it means some of my favorite treats. And I will eat quantities of them. Look for me after New Years and things have calmed down. If I'm still too thin by February, you can all start planning the Intervention.
