Evil Christmas Elves

Apparently I need to pull out the bitch case, because I must have been too good this year. Last week I was visited by several evil Christmas elves bearing plates of scrumptuous no nos.

On Monday, I was given a tray of cookies. Tuesday, a fruitcake. Wednesday a box of Belgian truffles. Thursday, a rum cake. Friday, a box of assorted pastries from the local Lebanese bakery. Add to this the numerous seasonal lunches and dinners I was invited to and you have the making of a really ugly situation. All of this was lovely and I'm very appreciative, but it's hard enough to pour myself into my jeans when I'm not being fed on a regular basis.

The result? My weight's holding steady today, a fact for which I am very greatful. I've kicked up the activity, prioritized my holiday snacking and have taken to putting out the yummy goodness I receive for friends and family.

Someone needs to kidnap these evil X-mas elves. They've passed by my place as well.

Keep your treats to yourselves!

Ditto, I hate all these amazing sweets. Funny how I didn't know people actually ate fruitcake until I met my husband. I always thought it was just a good movie joke. I still haven't tried it, I probably never will. It would be one more treat to have to learn to resist!
