This post is basically just a letter to myself. But, if you would like, feel free to address it to yourself as well.
Dear Beth,
I love you. I really do. I know you workout and try not to ingest the illegal amounts of cookie dough you would like. I've seen how you've turned your head when passing by Sprinkles. I heard you use the word, "skinny" before ordering many of your favorite Starbucks drinks when I know you hate artificial sweetners. I've also noticed how you've attempted to eat more fruits and veggies this year.
Let's not ruin this.
The average American can gain between 7-100 lbs during the holidays (figures may or may not be accurate). Do not be a statistic.
What are the "harmless" things that can cause this to happen to you?
And the list goes on...
How could anyone possibly pass this test?! It seems impossible, but, Beth, you will be okay. I suppose the key is moderation. Sample a little here. A litte there. Do not leave yourself in a room alone with any of the above items!
And if you blow it--which you might--I still love you. The treadmill will always be there.
Beth, Happy Holidays! Happy Thanksgiving! And Merry Christmas!
Love,
Yourself

What are the "harmless" things that can cause this to happen to you?
- Sugar cookies decorated to be cute little snowman and Christmas trees.
- Gravy. And more gravy.
- Pies. Flaky amazing pies.
- Chocolate in so many forms I can't fathom them all at this time.
- Stuffing. Pay attention to the name of the game for this one. Stuffing is for Teddy Bears only!
- Peanut butter fudge. Fudge makes pudge.
