I try to avoid all that garbage that we get as gifts at work, but sometimes it's impossible. Last week a family member came in with cannoli from this bakery in Brooklyn that he insisted we all eat in front of him because according to him "this is the best cannoli in the world". I had to eat. He was watching.

Oh, I am drooling. Good cannoli. I moved from NYC up here to Turkey Droppings, NY three years ago and....

Cannoli. Oh. Oh.

Oh. God. Cannoli.

Now I'm drooling.

I conciously think about what I'm putting in my mouth. If I notice I'm eating alot of carbs in one day, I ask myself why, and then stop.

I usually don't eat what is left out at work - I picture cookies with little red horns on it and keep walking. It also helps that we have been super busy at work and I don't have time to pee let alone chew a cookie.

Before I go to any parties, I always eat at home so I'm not nibbling there. Just can't seem to stop drinking at those things though. One thing at a time.

being stressed, high-strung and neurotic, does wonders for one's metabolism.

Continuing to exercise. Even if injured. I am currently dealing with a bout of hip bursitis and shin splints from running and have started swimming in place of it.

Exercise is huge, I think. And I;m following weight watchers so I just add the points and journal everything I eat. I still eat the goodies, if that's what I want, but I don;t go over points. i'm still losing despite the holidays and despite my partaking in the treats.

That's too funny and unfortunately my attitude. I just hope I don't gain too much this season. I feel like I gained 10 pounds this week.

I think just take it day by day . . . don't freak out if you have a bad day. And try to get some kind of exercise. That really helps me not overeat. Sometimes though - like last night when I made Thai chicken . . . it was so good. I ate more than I should, even though I served mine over broccoli instead of rice.

Today I had an Atkins shake for breakfast and lentil soup for lunch. I took some of my ds's French Fries from McDonalds . .(his reward for saying the Pledge of Allegiance at school today in front of the local Sheriffs).

Exercise is mental therapy for me.

(Pass me some of those fries.)
