THE ISLAND OF MISFIT FOODS

Here we all are - piled high on Santa's wonderful, magical sleigh - sailing through the air, wildly smiling as our eyes dance to view the breast of the new fallen snow below. "Tra, la, la, la la - Tra, la, la, la la!" we all sing.

But wait! What is this? Santa, you idiot! What's this balloon doing in my hand - and why are we being dropped out of the sleigh one by one?  Oh no - what's that large island below?  Could it be...  Gasp!!!  It's The Island of Misfit Foods!!!!  

Just my luck - on the way down, my balloon popped. Nevermind - just look over there!  Wow, it's a 10-story chocolate torte filled with a river of real whipping cream!  Yum!  Look over there!  It's a Nutcracker filled with nuts!  Oh, and look over there standing by the Nutcracker!  It's a fairy filled with sugar plums!

So many delightful goodies - it's almost impossible to resist. And here we are, stranded on the Island of Misfit Foods with no rescue in sight until after Christmas. What's a dieter to do?  How can we manage to drag ourselves through the holiday banquet without looking as if we've swallowed Santa's pack?

Don't despair just yet! We can still have lots of 'tra la la la la's' and still have holiday joy!  It's all about Smart Diet Planning - you genius you!  Yes, you know what to do, so grab your 'Diet Motivation Wits' about you and let's see what sort of healthy Diet Thoughts we can pull out of Santa's pack:

- Choose your foods wisely. Keep in mind that it only takes an instant to down a slice of pecan pie that contains 750 calories. Although it's probably my absolute favorite dessert in all the universe, it's about the deadliest, calorie-wise.  Nonetheless, try to remember that it takes VERY LITTLE time to eat.  Piece of pie, a few yum-yums, and it's all gone-gone.  Straight to the hips.

-Be aware of the amount of food you are eating. When you're gathered with friends and family, try to be aware of everything that you are putting inside. Those little items add up quickly, especially those pecan tassies. Believe me, I know!

-All good things must surely end. Holidays come, and holidays go. You certainly don't want to be left with 5-20 pounds of unwanted weight when the lights come down.
