The Pre-Passover
(Pesach) period is a busy one. There is tons of
cleaning/organizing/shopping to be done. And later, there will be cooking to be
done as well. In addition I tend to get less sleep during this season (although
I am TRYING to get more…..). All this makes sticking to my eating plan
difficult. I USED to "survive" the period with "instant
energy" (ie., chocolate…..).
In general I have been able to brush away these
whims fairly easily. [It helps that I bought myself a nice bracelet for the
holiday which I am only allowing myself to use if I do not gain in this period.
Bribes DO work……] Occasionally I may
allow myself an extra 100 calories, if I am working hard, but choosing
something healthy like soup or a fruit rather than the sweet stuff.
What amazes me is that this inner voice
still sits insides me, expounding self-destruction oh so insidiously yet nonchalantly.

confection made of honey and tahini, can be healthy, but nevertheless fattening.
