The other day on facebook, I found this humorous status
post: “Thanksgiving is this weekend,
remember to set your scale back 10 pounds.”
When I read this, I smiled for two reasons. One, it was funny and two, I wouldn’t have to
be worrying about gaining weight this year.
I was sick and so unofficially, Thanksgiving was cancelled at our
house! I enjoyed the day by taking it easy,
taking my medicine, and taking naps. My
husband cooked a modest dinner of hot dogs, potato salad, and pumpkin pie. Now, I was sick, but not dead, so I ate. It was delicious and hit the spot.
The next morning when I stepped on the scale,
to my surprise, I had gained 6 pounds. Seriously.
I have since decided that there is
something in the cosmos that aligns a certain way during the 4th
week of November. It affects all scales
no matter what or how much you eat. No
matter what you do, you will gain weight during the Thanksgiving holiday!!
So, next year I’ve come up with a new
plan: I’m setting my scale back 10 lbs.
