I dont know about you - but in my life. Holidays mean two things. Family and FOOD. Food is a love language that is spoken very fluently in both sides of my family, and it is such a wonderful gift. But - I know a lot of people dread holidays for that reason. Food. Out of the ordinary, temptation filled food. I know I used to. I would get concerned, then I would say to myself - eh - its just one day. Its what we do. It would be rude not to eat it. EVERYONE ELSE IS EATING IT - why cant I? Heres the thing. I ALWAYS felt like crapola. I ALWAYS regretted it. Not because I felt guilty for over indulging - that was a CHOICE - and I could move on from that - but I would feel physically sick. Maybe you can relate? Ive come to realize that its because of some gut issues that I have - and food sensitivities - but thats not the point of this post. What IS the point? Dont demonize food. If you want the dessert, eat it and move on. Dont dwell. Most importantly, ENJOY the time with your family. Remember why we get together - its not for food - its for the company and community we have with our loved ones! Take the focus off the food and put it on the fellowship! And have a BLESSED EASTER!!
