This is where I get to say anything I feel like saying and you get to agree with me.
We will also share stories and chocolate if you have any.
Naps are also encouraged, if shopping is out of the question.

I have to quit eating

It is the same no matter where you go .. Winter = Eating.
Warm weather means staying busy and on the go and grabbing a bite and nothing hot and not much cooking and then the cold comes along and what do you have ? 
Night time arrives at around 4 pm and hot soup sounds good and salad doesn't really sound that comforting on such a wet and cold night, how about pasta ? 


Want some croissants for breakfast ? Oh why not, it is cold out, I will have more coffee and a little breakfast and warm my tummy .. 


Walk the dog in the afternoon, Tea time ! stop and pick up some scones, or stop and pick up some chocolate brownies that make you think for just a minute of going on an all chocolate diet and then the little cheese tart changes your mind... then you have your gallon of tea and think , This is it, I can't eat anything else until tomorrow.




And about 2 hours later, everyone is in the kitchen, peering into the fridge, looking into the cupboards, What's for dinner?


The good part: We walk miles a day. Even though it seems we are eating every waking hour, our meals probably equal one large dinner for the average person ... 
The bad part : Eating is addictive. The more you do it, the more you want. This leads to needing a clothing size larger and I am not finished with my new wardrobe that is 3 sizes smaller.
So as of tonight, I have decided... no more eating.
I will just look at it, take a taste and make my husband eat it.
No more cooking. 
No more breakfast.


And just so you know I mean business .... I will not finish this cookie.

I find the more I exercise (=walking), the more I eat. Apparently that's the sign of a healthy metabolism. Unfortunately I'm supposed to feed that metabolism with boring stuff. Not the fun stuff. Boo.

Exactly !
It is good to know I have a healthy metabolism .. or any metabolism at all !
But I too have noticed, the "fun stuff" is not that brie empanada and orange/chocolate brownie I had for tea today.

Wait, what does it mean if I eat a lot in Summer, too? I didn't realize an eating addiction isn't always year round. My appetite defies seasons. Ha. Unlucky me.
