Chapter 6: Fat Man's Holiday

The next morning I got up and decided to start my day off with a healthy breakfast.  I had lean ham, eggs with no salt, wheat toast, and an apple.  This was a good start to a new life.  The days following this I continued to eat healthy and stopped drinking soda all together.  Then Christmas came along…yep, the food, the chocolate, everything.  I like to call it "Fat Man's Holiday", not because of Santa but because it was one of the few times out of the year that everyone got to overeat and it made fat people not look as bad.  We were basically eating what everyone else was.  But, I didn’t overeat and I still stuck to my “Lifestyle Change Plan”…that’s what I call it, instead of a diet.  The way I see it is that people go off of diets.  They diet for a time then eventually quit and go back to their old eating habits.  I didn’t want to do that so I call it a Lifestyle Change Plan.  So back to Christmas,  I was very proud of myself.  I still ate, and I ate well, but I didn’t overeat and I stayed away from all the sweets.  This seemed to be a great beginning.
