Gremlin

Friday night I was a saint, but Saturday I became a Gremlin...I turned evil, became self-destructive and didn't care who I hurt, including myself. I couldn't stop the madness and everything just tasted so damn good. I didn't feel like staying away from the amazing gourmet cheese and crackers my Mother in Law bought and no one was going to tell me what to do. My MIL is in town and I wanted to show her a good time. What do you mean shoving cheese and crackers in my mouth and drinking vodka isn't a good time? And did I mention the chips and guacamole?


On most occasions, when I am home, cooking for myself, I can master this whole "Weight Watchers Points" thing. But once I taste something I like, I'm a goner. I move into "screw Weight Watchers" mode. My resentment increases for having to try to "spot reduce" my belly after having 3 kids and looking at my tall thin husband makes me even more bitter. Why doesn't he have these issues?
