Put Down the Fork and No One Gets Hurt

As we’re heading into the homestretch for Thanksgiving, keep one thing in mind. It’s much easier not to gain weight than to lose weight. By the time January rolls around, losing weight will be at or near the top of most people’s list of resolutions. Bad idea. It can take months to shed the pounds gained during the holidays, which is why so many people never manage to do it. Make yourself a promise right now – leave the gluttony to others during the next six weeks. And if you happen to slip up, you’ll exercise more to make up for it. Seriously, that’s all there is to it. There’s no law that says you have to eat two pieces of pie after a six-course meal. Have a bite of pie. Savor it. Move on. Eat to live, don't live to eat.
