8 Reasons Why It’s Good To Be Fat For The Holidays
So the holidays are upon us and I have to be in a good mood even though I’m way off my dream of being 30 pounds lighter and living a healthy lifestyle. Do I even bother trying in the month of December to look at LITTLE better, or just forget it and wait till January. I think I will just turn this negative into a positive and look at the brighter side of being overweight during the holidays.
1. You don’t have to turn down any desserts.
2. You can eat a lot more food before you get full.
3. You don’t have to unbutton your pants after eating because you’re already wearing elastic waist pants.
4. You can eat all the treats your husband brings home from the gifts he gets at his office, and not worry about gaining weight.
5. The extra insulation keeps you warm when you go out looking at Christmas lights.
6. You’ll fit better into your Mrs. Claus costume.
7. The rolls and rolls on your stomach gives you something to play with when you’re waiting in line at the stores.
8. You don’t have to insult anyone by not tasting all of their baking and cooking efforts.

Sounds good to me!
I will try to remember it when I look in the mirror 
We’re having our 8 Women Dream holiday party this Friday and I am looking forward to seeing everyone and just eat, drink, relax and have fun! We’re hoping that all 8 of us will be together for the first time, and to meet our significant others.
Till next week,
(Kim has already accomplished her first big dream by traveling to New York with her teenage daughter June of 2009. She lost 20 pounds and overcame her intense dislike (do we say fear?) of flying to accomplish that dream. She rotated off the blog in February 2010, but still hangs out with 8 Women Dream. You can find her in the comments section)

Yes but what about the heartburn and other not so pleasant side effects from eating the holiday fare?
I guess it could be a way to be left alone when you want to be left alone …
Gee and I agreed to bring pot stickers …
Thank you, thank you, thank you. My favorite is number 3. I will take your suggestions and have a fabulous December. Does the Goodwill sell elastic pants?

You’re so funny, the Erma Bombeck of our generation!
That’s my new dream! Try to be funny like Erma Bombeck. It might take years…
Cannot wait for the party (and the treats!) Kim!
Being the next Erma Bombeck is a great new goal too… Thanks for keeping humor and levity on this site – a good reminder that it’s always important to laugh. 
Looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday. Don’t forget to bring a wrapped gift from home for the White Elephant Game!!
You don’t really think this do you? It sounds like you are giving up before you even started. How does this help me achieve my dream if you are supposed to be inspiring? Come on let’s see some dreams. Remember to drink lots of water dream girl.
