HERE'S THE BIG 1 !!! SOCIAL EVENTS!!! NO BETTER TIME THAN NOW EVEN AS PEOPLE ARE WAKING WITH THE SMELL OF CHOCOLATE STILL ON THERE BREATH AND THE SLUGGISH FEELING YOU GET FROM OVERINDULGANCE AT YOU FAVORITE RESTERAUNT!! WHAT YOU NEED TO REALIZE THAT WE HAVE FOOD AS THE CENTER PIECE FOR ALL FUNCTIONS!! WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN ABSTAIN WILL DETERMINE YOUR LONG TERM SUCCESS . POINT: THANKSGIVING "DINNER" CHRISTMAS "DINNER",NEW YEARS "DINNER" ,VALENTINES "DINNER" ,YOU GETTN IT ??!! THAT DOESN'T EVEN START TO COVER SUNDAY DINNER,BIRTHDAYS,WEDDINGS ANNIVERSARIES,BIRTHS,DEATHS ETC,ETC!!! SHALL I CONTINUE!!! FEEL PRESSURED TO EAT ?? SHURE YOU DO;FROM OUTSIDE AND INSIDE ! WE FUNCTION PRETTY GOOD INSIDE OUR STRUCTURED SURROUNDINGS THAT WE CREATE FOR OURSELVES BUT THE REAL PROBLEM OCCOURS WHEN WE ARE OUTSIDE OF THIS STRUCTURED ENVIRONMENT ie. WEEKENDS !! WHY THE EXCLAMATION POINTS YOU ASK ?? EASY YO-YO TO GET INTO, EATING RIGHT ,BUSTING  YOUR HUMP HIT THE WEEKEND; WHICH ,LETS GET REAL, IS ALMOST ALWAYS SOME SORT OF SOCIAL EVENT! = WEEKS WORK DOWN THE TUBES!! FUNNY ; AT THIS VERY MOMENT MY WIFE CAME THROUGH GROANING " THAT FOOD PUT TONS OF WEIGHT ON ME!" "YOU??" TO WHICH I REPLIED WHAT DID I EAT ? SHE SHEEPISLY REPLIED "STEAMED FISH AND RICE " AND I SAID YES AND MY SALAD HAD NO DRESSING TO WHICH MY FINAL REPLY WAS "I'M FINE!!" POINT OF ALL THIS IS : WE ARE GOING TO ALWAYS BE SURROUNDED BY TEMPTATION AND I WAS FEEEELLLLLING IT LAST NIGHT,BUT NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING FIT FEELS!! JUST SAY "NO" IT'LL BE TOUGH,BUT IN THE END IT'LL HAVE YOU SAYING "OH YES!!!!"
