It's the most wonderful time of the year...

I love this time of the year, especially the part about it being fall. It has to be my most favorite season. However, it is not my favorite in the eating department. It is about this time of the year that I start to dread the holiday food smorgasbord. It involves everything from having a ton of Halloween candy in the house to a huge Thanksgiving dinner and leftovers to all the sweet treats and baking done before Christmas. You see, I started my weight loss trek just shortly after January 1st this year so I haven't yet gone through a holiday season having to watch my points and stay on track. So, I'm a little nervous and anxious about whole thing - more so because since Sunday, I have ate way too much candy. (I have to go back to the dentist today to have a temporary crown fixed because it came off while I was eating too many Tootsie Rolls yesterday.) I really need accountability in the next few months, especially since I'd still like to reach my goal by Christmas. Stick with me and help me through. I'll do the same with you because we still want it to be the most wonderful time of year - we just want to be a little thinner!
