Oh shit, I'm not perfect.....

I've been eating little chocolate baubles and left over pumpkin pie with whipped cream and turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes smothered in gravy......

There, I said it.
Did you hear me?
Do I need to repeat it?
Alright, I'll talk a little louder.....

Can you hear me now?

I'd love to think that by admitting to this, the calories will somehow evaporate. A-la the confessional diet. But, that particular diet never worked very well for me in my pre-Lapband days. I doubt it's going to work now. The only good thing (if there is a good thing!) is that I can't eat as much of those things as I once did. Well....except for the mashed potatoes--they go down just fine and gravy helps even more. And, I'm doing an amazingly fine job eating those mashed potatoes with gravy. (holiday leftovers....pure evil in a tupperware container)
I gotta get a grip.
The bad thing about the rationale that I can't eat as much as I used to so that makes it okay is that since I am at a much lower weight, it won't take as much to put a few pounds on me. And, regardless of my Lapband....I am still living in Judi's body. It's a body that gains weight at the speed of light. A 48 year study was conducted and the results were indisputable. It was scientifically proven that this body of mine can gain weight in just a few short hours! Give me a holiday season and this body can jump 2 pants sizes. It's all very well documented.
Now, I'm not going to panic over a few pounds. No. No. That's my old life. That's the feast or famine Judi way of life. But, damn, I'm definitely panicking over the fact that I've been eating little chocolate baubles and left over pumpkin pie with whipped cream and turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes smothered in gravy.....

Yes, I have my moments. My not so perfect moments. And, I'm smack dab in the middle of a stretch of them. Just when you think you can come here to my blog and get inspiration from the perfect Lapbander, you find out--she's eating little chocolate baubles and left over pumpkin pie with whipped cream and turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes smothered in gravy.....
