HOLIDAY CHRISTMAS PARTY RECIPES

I Can't Wait to Lose Weight!

Waiting to open gifts is a lot like waiting on weight loss to reach that magic number on the weight scales Only some of us just can't wait....

My husband Tom is particularly naughty when it comes to opening presents. It's not that he wants to open his gifts, it's just that he is always so excited about seeing others open what he got for them that he can't stand the waiting. More than once he has talked me into opening gifts before 'the magic day' and when the magic day arrived, it felt sorta empty and we wished that we had waited. And let me assure you that a pile of coal isn't as pretty as a thoughtful gift. No; opening gifts early just isn't the same as patiently waiting before the big explosion of joy, is it?

Losing weight is just like opening those magical holiday gifts. It's hard waiting on weight loss and because weight takes its sweet time in melting off our bodies, some of us get antsy. We become tired of waiting. We want to lose weight NOW! We want to see what is inside our package - that trimmer, healthier body. And when we open our packages too early, we end up with a big pile of coal. What generally follows is the addition of more 'wrapping paper', supplied by consuming an excess of goodies over the days that follow. And we sure don't want to add more wrappers because the more wrappers that a package has, the longer it takes to open.

So if you're dieting and find that the Waiting for Weight Loss game is taking too long, then BE PATIENT! You don't want to end up with a pile of coal, do you?
