So it’s already began, the fight against the holiday sweets that will be prevalent everywhere I go for the next 3 weeks.  One of our vendors has delivered a holiday goody basket.  But I’m proud to say I resisted.  I ate some of my low-calorie, low-fat chocolate pudding to stave off my chocolate craving.  And I sat in an hour and a half meeting, then another 45 minute meeting with a bowl of M&M’s within arms reach and I didn’t eat even one!  But it’s difficult.  Especially since people are always thrusting food at you.  “But Julie, you’re eating for two, it’s okay, eat whatever you want!” and “But you aren’t big at all!”.  While I appreciate the compliment, the second I am eating for is 2 pounds and about 12-14 inches long, so she really doesn’t need much.  And while I may not be physically big, my scale shows otherwise.  I have no clue where the pounds are going.  Perhaps I have a big ‘ole fat store in my lower back that I cannot see.  Perhaps I’m getting a pot belly on my back.  I don’t know!  But all I know is that my doctor told me to gain weight more slowly.  So please excuse me while I continue to resist temptation and not eat everything in sight!

My second is 2 millimeters, and I cannot stop eating. You should be quite proud. :)
