Dieting, The Dog Ate It

Jackie loved pumpkin.  She loved pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cake and pumpkin roll. If it had pumpkin in it, Jackie was happy.

Resisting all the goodies that were loaded with pumpkin was especially difficult during the holiday season. Aunt Martha made the best pumpkin pie on the planet. Uncle Rob baked the tastiest pumpkin bread and pumpkin rolls in the universe.  And her sister Sylvia baked the most luscious pumpkin cake and cookies in the entire world.  Yes, Jackie was definitely in Pumpkin Heaven during the holidays.

And it was on a certain Thanksgiving day that Jackie found herself planted at her sister's house for the holiday. The table was loaded with the traditional feast, but Jackie wasn't interested.  She was thinking about dessert - and all her favorites were there, just waiting for her to partake of their bounty.

The family ate so much for dinner than no one wanted dessert. And her aunt had these crushing words to say, "I don't see how anyone could eat desserts after the feast we just had. It would be short of gluttony."

Jackie's spirits fell.  Didn't her family notice that she had barely touched her plate?  That she had been saving herself for all that wonderful pumpkin? And, she had only wanted to sample each dessert.

Shortly afterwards, all of the family except Jackie fell in a deep sleep due to all their feasting.  Jackie tripped over to the dessert table, anxious to sample all the pumpkiny goodies. Hum, perhaps she should and just blame the dog?

Nah. That wouldn't be fair to Rover. After great thought, she decided to dig in and get her fill of the pumpkin filled goodies.

Was Jackie being Diet Bad?  Absolutely not.  She had carefully planned her diet around enjoying a sampling of the foods that she loved best during the holiday season. Planning is everything when it comes to the holiday season - particularly planning out your diet.  You'll be less apt to gain weight, and by enjoying what you like within reason, exercises a bit of Diet Control.
