Rethinking Holiday Food....

Yesterday was my favorite holiday...Thanksgiving....probably because I love food. Several years ago when I was 100% Weight Watchers (meaning, I all but made it my god..), I could not enjoy the holidays, it meant everything to accomplish and stay at that "goal weight".....I'm on WW again, but not as diligently and I have only one God and that is my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ....so that said, I have to look at holidays different now then I did when I would make myself sick on holiday food, and when I would deprive myself of something. Yesterday, I took a break from logging in my food journal and just simply enjoyed my family and food. I put one large spoonful of anything I wanted to try on my plate and I savored it. Today, I am logging in my journal again. I have to look at food different now....it is not something to gorge on or deprive myself of, it is meant to be enjoyed but in moderation. As usual, I am not patting myself on the back...every day is a battle for me...and while eating good comes fairly easy for me (because I love fruits and veggies), exercise doesn't and that is equally important.
