Jedi Eating Tricks

I'm thinking we should all take a few moments and have a conversation with the little voices inside our heads.  If Master Yoda can do it, so can I.  I think mine will go something like this:

"Self, I've noticed that during the last few days leading up to Christmas & New Years you've seemed to have limited self control regarding your food intake.  Food, and especially sweets, are everywhere.  Whenever you see food at the office, at friends houses, and at home, you act like a 12 years old school girls at a Justin Bieber concert.  Maybe for the next few days you could actually practice some SELF CONTROL.  This would include, but not limited to; having a single piece of pie for desert instead of three; defining meal times to 3 meals a day and not one continuous eating session; portion control is NOT spelled 's-e-c-o-n-d-s & t-h-i-r-d-s'; and lastly remember that each calorie you take in, no matter how good it looks and tastes, will be much harder to get rid of than it was to consume."

Have a little pep talk with yourself before the holidays.  Remember to enjoy yourself, but just keep in mind that you are what you eat...or something like that. And may the force be with you this week!
