Things Change

   Happy Halloween!

May today have many treats and few tricks.

*************************************************

It is funny, the treats were not a problem and there are a lot still here.  It was the evening meal and snack that were mindlessly enlarged.  Looking back at it emotional eating snuck in, like the evil creepy monster it is.  So much at this time of life is changing and I'm not dealing with it very well at times.  Along with the usual things that point this out, Halloween was not like it has been for years.  No kids needing costumes, no school function, no neighborhood celebration and worse almost no tricker treaters at the door.  There use to be hordes of them.  Fun costumes, giggles and thank yous up and down the street.  Sadly turned the porch light off, blow out the candles and bagged up the large bowl of candy left when the local tricker treating hours were over.  Moping back into the kitchen realized thoughts of leftovers were running through my mind.  Stopped and thought I'm not hungry so why.  Thinking for the same reason the portions were to big earlier.  And it had to stop.  The food was not really making me happy so go deal with it. Tomorrow will have to bring some extra exercise along with taking down the decorations.  Time for some new November goals.
