Adversity at the Buffet Table

In a few days most of us will face mounds of food.  And many of us will face the proud family members who created those mounds of food.  You may have made some lifestyle changes since the last time you were together with friends and family.  We're not suggesting that you forego the feast and huddle up with the raw veggies.  Everyone has a little cheat now and then so if you want to taste that pie and it won't set you off on a binge, go ahead.  Keep in mind though, that if you want to say "no thanks" to something that you (or your doctor) have determined is not good for you…then stand firm.  Enjoy the company, enjoy the healthy dish that you brought, and keep your eye on your ultimate goals.  We're going to get lofty and quote George Patton today:

"YOU NEED TO OVERCOME THE TUG OF PEOPLE AGAINST YOU AS YOU REACH FOR HIGH GOALS."
