When I fall off the wagon, it's never because of a massive wreck. It's generally a more lengthy process than that. Like the wagon starts to swerve, but I hang on; it tilts and I almost get dumped, but don't. This goes on for a day or so, the swerves becoming more decisive, the tilts becoming more radical. Then one day I look up and dang if the wagon isn't way up ahead with me sprawled out on the road behind it.
It all started, this time, with the Annual Cookie Bake I do with my kids. I did okay on that day and on the next. Still, having Christmas cookies all over my house--not to mention left-over icing--is never a good thing. But this last week was exam/papers due dates week. I was a tad stressed. Me stressed + Christmas goodies? Disaster.
So today, I've got some decisions to make. Do I get back on the wagon or do I let it keep bumping along the road? In order to catch it, I need to move the Christmas treats out of the kitchen fridge and down to the garage fridge. I need to choose fruits and veggies, not chocolate and candy. I need to eat three meals, and not substitute one or two with junk.
Will I catch that wagon today? We'll see. If I do, I'll be back on the road to decreasing.
