In-laws took us out to eat last night. Mother-in-law expresses her love through food. It’s REALLY hard to stop eating in those situations because she keeps giving everyone food. I was stuffed and uncomfortable.

In-laws took us out to eat last night. Mother-in-law expresses her love through food. It’s REALLY hard to stop eating in those situations because she keeps giving everyone food. I was stuffed and uncomfortable.
I was listening to a podcast the other day that addressed this very topic. Not that there’s anything WRONG with accepting love via food, but if we’re ever in a place where it’s just not what we need at that moment, in order to avoid offending to love provider, this psychologist recommended afforded them an alternative means to show love.
MIL comes up with her extra special apple fritter casserole that she made just for you and you’re about 1 teaspoon of sugar away from entering a diabetic coma, you say “Oh, that sounds delicious, I’d love some later, but right now I would REALLY love a cup of coffee/I’m cold and could really use a sweater/I have a headache and would really love an couple of aspirin”, and off the MIL goes to provide love and care.
Afford others those opportunities while still on your terms.

Last night was our Christmas meal, so the worst of the holiday weight gain should be over. I did punish some chocolate chip cookies.

I’m getting ready to start baking some. There hasn’t been time, even if I wanted to get a jump on them, but I’ve come to like doing it on Christmas Eve for the moderating factor, as once they’re in the pretty glass cookie jar, I’m lost to them until they’re gone.

I don’t eat many sweets but chocolate chip cookies, my wife’s iced sugar cookies, and a good chocolate cake will usually get me.

I’ve been killing cookies for a solid week now. Thank goodness I don’t bake all year long.

Right? It’s brown and damp here. Although, at least not hot I guess. Lol
