Avoiding the Holiday Pounds--and Rush

To enjoy this commentary to the fullest, I would suggest reading We Wish You a Merry Christmas Without Us, including the comments. Since this is rather lengthy and only attached to the FCN subject in only vague strands, I decided to place it here, instead of using up FCN space.

Merry Christmas, FCN.

That was funny-depressing. I'm trying to loose weight right now, guys. After I finish the cookies I made last night, I'm cutting sweets until I reach my prefered weight. For those of you that ever catch me eating, remind me of this fact if I happen to backslide. I will not be making any cookies in the foreseeable future. I will not ingest any hot chocolate until...really late in December. I will not consume any candy until January...AFTER PLNU. Bread and cheese are going off-limits, too.

All of my Christmas shopping, besides stocking stuffers, is done, and was done online the day after Christmas. I will not be purchasing See's Candy for anyone.

I WILL continue to post on my blog.

I will write Christmas Cards. Lots of Christmas cards. I do not plan to ship any gifts to my relatives. If it can't fit in a card, it's not going.

Instead of spending my days shopping, I will spend them not eating. I plan to curl up by the fireplace with a cup of hot water, and read. Or write. Or research.

Okay, so I guess you could boil everything I'm going to do down to one goal:

For every pound FCN gains, I want to lose a pound.

Isn't life so wonderfully simple sometimes? :)
