I think I have done remarkably well with the holidays with having lost both parents in the last couple of years, my father having passed in February. I have enjoyed so much of the season...hot chocolate while looking at the lights, Christmas carols, decorating and the shopping too (which I was so proud to have got done over a week before Christmas even with being sick so many times). But I did face some depression last night over some family matters and I gave in and just ate what I wanted. However today I grabbed out my journal...wrote it ALL down, figured up the points and moved on. I used 18 WPAs last night but that is okay...that is what they are for and I moved on to eat the way I should today and not just keep stuffing myself to cover my misery. I talked to a couple friends about what was eating me and helped to alleviate that some. And the cupcakes that were sitting by the coffee pot at work this morning are still there. I didn't touch a one. I figured up the points if I wanted one but after getting some stuff off my chest I haven't felt the need for them. I think that is sucess...after a fall I got back up.
