The Road to Fatassery Starts Here

Christmas is over. I hope that you all had / are having wonderful holiday seasons!! I’ve finally emerged from the food coma brought on by what I ate at yesterday’s dinner. (I guess I should admit that, in addition to everything listed below, I ate four chocolate chip cookies and 5 heaping teaspoons of chocolate chip cookie dough.) I don’t know what came over me. It seems every time that I blinked, my eyes would re-open to see a huge spoon topped with food heading toward my mouth. I couldn’t stop myself. Needless to say, given that I’m into healthy bodies (re: slightly fatphobic), I will be at the gym with Pepe for the majority of the afternoon today. Here is a list of what I ate last night: APPETIZER 12 oz butternut squash soup 2 tablespoons of couscous * 2 slices of beef and gravy * 1 tablespoon of wild rice * 1 glass of water * These items were not part of the appetizer, per se, but I ducked into the kitchen and nibbled on the dinner a bit when no one was looking. DINNER ½ salmon streak 6 slices of beef 2 cups of homemade macaroni and cheese 2 tablespoons of sautéed mushrooms & broccoli 2 tablespoons of curried couscous 2 tablespoon of wild rice 1 glass of white wine 1 glass of eggnog 1 glass of water DESSERT ½ slice of pumpkin pie 2 scoops of ice cream 1 handful of berries 1 glass of water
