The Christmas Truffle

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
                                  Winston Churchill

Sometimes the highs are so high that I plummet off of them like a space shuttle hurtling back into earth's atmosphere.

After writing about surviving this holiday season so well, I crashed and burned tonight after buying truffles for Christmas Day. It was like I suspect an alcoholic must feel when there is beer in the house. Those little bags just sat on my counter calling to me like little lost souls begging to be eaten.

I ate just one. Not unreasonable. Then I ate two. I left them in the kitchen, so I had to go back for both of them, but the sack said a serving was three -- so why not finish off the serving? Right? And then, LET THE EATING BEGIN!

I had three or four more truffles, two pieces of sprouted grain toast with butter and yogurt blue cheese (because it was the only cheese in the house) and two fried eggs all times three! Then I had two more pieces of toast with butter and blue cheese. And finally my regular salad for the night minus the carrots, which, you know, saved me a ton of calories.

No doubt about it, sugar is my trigger.

Now I have to suck it up and start again tomorrow.
