The Holidays
They are upon us. The unholy trio: Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Never mind the extra food activities that seem to get slipped in there- the office parties, the fall apple pies, hannukah chocolates.
This is indeed a DIFFICULT time of year for us. This is how I am going to get through it this year, let me know if you like this strategy!
I am definitely going to revisit my meal plan. I know that on my meal plan I CAN eat a single little treat each day. I also am supposed to keep up my moderate exercise when I follow the meal plan.
I am going to make sure I pick up a couple of flattering outfits that make me FEEL GOOD about myself- so I am not additionally overwhelmed by poor body image.
I will plan for the days that I'm not going to worry about food. For me I know which dates those are: Thanksgiving and Christmas eve and Christmas Day. EVERY OTHER SINGLE DAY, I'm going to follow my meal plan.
I'm going to look for a few new "healthy" recipes that will still give me those wonderful fall flavors without overwhelming me. Mulled cider? Baked apples (without the pie crust!)?
I'm going to refuse to engage in conversations with other folks about "how much I'm putting on because of the holidays". It will trigger me and make me feel worse. I will learn to smile and say something encouraging and walk away.
Let me know if you have any other great ideas!!!

Progress
I finally picked a title for my book (sorry too superstitious to reveal it yet!)
And have been researching different options such as print on demand and e-books. I know that's kind of taking a different approach, and maybe I should be submitting it to publishers. I just don't feeeeel like it!
Be happy healthy and smart everyone!

update from Amy
Hello dear friends,
I know i have been silent lately. It isn't for a bad reason. In fact, it's for a very very good reason. I have finally been able to really get to work on finishing my book! it's taken three years to compile and organize it, but I can honestly say it's shaping up.
I'm very excited because I actually feel like I'm going to be able to offer something new.
I am going to try to self-publish as a downloadable (e.g.,"kindle") book so that the price will be affordable and I won't have to work with middle men in publishing.
Be happy and be free!
