It is a miracle I haven’t given this up. (In case you don’t know what “this” is, here’s the original post on the diet and my reasons for doing it.) If I had a dollar every time I thought of just sneaking a roll or taking a huge bite out of the whole cheese block, …
If I hadn’t typed up the words of that post title myself, I might have had a hard time believing that it was me putting the words “diet” and “holidays” together in the same sentence (unless, of course, we were talking about the usual plans to go on a diet AFTER the holidays). This year …
