Fat and I Are Fighting and Fat is Winning

Well, I’m back from a weeklong trip to Naples, Florida. Don’t get too jealous – I spent all of my waking hours in meetings, learning about nutrition, weight loss, consumer opinions about food, etc. The meeting was wonderful and I feel like I gained a lot of insight about my field, nutrition communications. I also feel like I gained a lot of weight. My pants that fit before the trip no longer zip shut.

The other bad thing was sitting in these meetings and glancing out the window only to see people enjoying the beautiful 70-degree weather on the beach or in their boats.

I’m guessing I gained about 2 to 3 pounds this week. With the heavy breakfast, appetizers, calorie-laden dinners and open bars, gaining weight at work functions in pretty much par for the course. This time of year it’s hard to decide whether I should try to lose some weight before the holidays get into full gear or if I should give up and try again in the new year.

Any thoughts?
