Another Year Almost Over

[cheryl2586 3,053]

It's hard to believe that a new year is almost upon us. This has been a very stressful year for me to say the least. I would just like to say that no matter what do not give in to temptations. It is so easy to go back to the bad ways. One cookie can be the deal breaker to sabotage your diet if you love sweets. Love your families and don't consume your life with negative people or situations. What we do today will set the tone for the rest of the week. I hope everyone enjoys their holidays not because of the food but because you are with people you love. I just wanted to throw that out there.

Thank you! Off to a party and a tad nervous. It's a fancy affair -- catered. I'd rather be in the kitchen at this kind of thing. Anyway, I found a sparkly top in my closet that I haven't really worn over the years and clearly this is the only event it will see as it's almost too big. So, my goal for the party is to relax. Breathe. Meet new people and ask them questions -- enjoy the elegance. Have it be not about the food but about the people.

So true I'm hosting my annual Christmas party definitely decreasing the amount of food and sweets I will have I always over cook/buy I can hold 4 more parties with the leftovers. Bought holiday tupperware and zip lock bags To give my friends as they leave with care packages.

I have a game plan for this season but I am human and will make a mistake but I will not sabotage my efforts. I will be happy with maintaining this month but gaining is not an option 1/2 way to goal and want it so bad
