As a reformed fat guy, I have to say that today begins the hardest month and a half of the year. I speak of course of eating season. Today starts with a bunt cake brought in by a well-meaning co-worker for all of us to share. This time of year everyone and their mother gets in the mood to bake and cook which means just about every day till January there will be extra goodies floating around the office and at home. What a time for my treadmill to break! To offset this trend, I will need to run a marathon every day for the next two months. When I say I am a reformed fat guy I say it knowing that it only takes a season like this to put me back to my old ways. If I don’t keep the food intake down a little I will be breaking out the fat close from the back of the closet. If you are a friend or relative I do not want this blog post to discourage you from your baking, frying or casserole making. Let me make one thing perfectly clear, I will only refrain from seconds, or perhaps thirds of that delicious treat you are making and the smile on my face will be of genuine gratitude for your contribution to my addiction.
