What do you think about the upcoming holiday season and what you'll eat?

In years past, my tendency was to bury my head in the sand and just "see" how it goes.  I didn't want to face the fight inside me about what and how much to eat, and how much I was going to eat off my regular plan.  It all felt like too much.  I didn't want to admit to myself that I wanted to eat all the things so I chose to avoid the whole topic and just "see" how it goes.

The "we'll just see how it goes" mentality more often than not lands people in the ditch of food obsession.  "Just seeing" is code for "I'll just eat what I want and then I hope I'll stop."  But instead of stopping, you keep eating.  You make promises that you will stop and that tomorrow will be better.  But the brain wants what it wants and it remembers the old familiar path.

Instead of "we'll see," why not plan ahead this year?  I am planning to write down exactly what it is I will enjoy.  I'm going to stay closely tethered to my support buddies this holiday.  I am going to aim for a bullseye in my planning and execution.

My head is out of the sand.  Is yours?

Until next time,
