Resolve

I am gaining weight by reading the recipes for holiday treats. Everywhere I turn someone is touting a sugar filled, butter laden delicacy.


This is all done so that the moment December turns the corner into the new year we can be swamped with ways to lose the fat from all those delicacies proferred by hostesses.


I tell myself that there's still time to turn away from the puddings, glazed cookies, cheesecakes, Brie adorned with warm figs, double chocolate cakes, dips, and on and on.


Sunday my resolve was tested by a table laden with thousands of calories. I didn't pass.
