November to January 1 Gained 4 pounds.

Jan 16, 2012

Being Jewish means not one, Christmas celebration ...... or one Christmas party at family, or even one christmas eve, and another Christmas day, and another Christmas night......It's 8 days of parties.  It is 8 days of fried potatos, fried jelly donuts, fried everything, and chocolates, and even "being good" means eating just one, which is just one more than any sane human should. 

THEN being a minority living in a majority culture;  it's the work Christmas parties, the children's parties from work (I'm a social worker) -- it's eating the cheese off of a couple slices of pizza, eating m&m's out of boredom watching kids at the pizza and games place with noise at a level to drown out all possible thought of anything like reality....it's boxes of candies that people give you as gifts.....

It's 4 pounds. 

Interestingly enough though,  it's now January 16th, and I've taken them all off !!  Yep.  All four pounds are gone now.  I know exactly how I got them, and I know exactly how to take them off.  My surgeon called that "normal" -- that's what normal skinny people do.  They gain weight over holidays and vacations, and they take it right off again. 

WOW what a concept.
