Too much to eat!

Thanksgiving has come and gone, but its effects will last for awhile. The experts say that the average American will gain seven pounds this holiday season; I think that I am almost there just after one day! I went to the gym this morning to work out and to relieve some of the guilt of eating like a pig yesterday, but to my dismay it was closed for the weekend. During the course of the year I'm able to control my eating habits, I actually eat very healthy. But when the fattening food is sitting right in front of me, I give in and eat, and eat and eat some more. Is it a case of lack of self control? Am I giving into the screams of my flesh? I'm disappointed in myself for over indulging at the thanksgiving dinner table. The problem continues with the left-overs that keep staring at me. I saw pumpkin pies that need to be eaten, what about the blue berry pie? The left over sweet potatoes and stuffing? Should I let it go to waste? I think NOT! I guess its OK to live the abundant life and enjoy Gods bounty a few days out of the year, God help me to shed these unwanted pounds and live a life that truly is pleasing to you. Christmas dinner, I can't wait!
