Habits, Rituals, Traditions

The holidays are coming. From Halloween candy all the way through New Year’s champagne celebrations, everyone has a memory of specific food and drink that means an enjoyable celebration.

The memory is short. You may forget the day after a hangover, or the days after weight gain. You may even have forgotten the week after tight clothes, but the extra weight is still there.

Do you really need to eat that bread? Do you need another version of a string bean casserole? Plan to feed the smaller person you want to be. You don’t need all the food and drink that is offered. Fill up on ambiance and water instead.
