Oh the choices! The smells of delicious food. The brain waves sending vibes to you. On one shoulder you have the angel, on the other the devil. Do you indulge, just one bite? Will that lead to another, and another? I struggle during this time. Not because of the weather, it’s cold but my family on both sides….love to cook. Comfort food. It’s everywhere. Does anyone else have the urges? I sometimes think the devil is working overtime in my life. I constantly have to remind myself….I have a choice. Do I always make the right one? Heck no! Do I feel bad if I do. Yes and no. We can deprive ourselves completely but if we look at it as a “treat” to ourselves it is easier to accept and when we know when to stop is only benefiting us in all directions. The holidays are upon us. It is a time to spend with family and friends and food is among all of it. I need to take my own advice as I say choose wisely and we do have control what we put in our mouth, we don’t always have control over what happens to us in life but that we do.
