So it’s that special time after Christmas where the euphoria of the holidays has worn off, you’re unsure what day of the week it is, and you’ve come to the same conclusion you do every year at this time:
I gotta stop eating like this.
This is the year I get healthy!
Whatever that means. There’s only one thing standing in your way. Your house is stuffed full of all the leftovers, snacks, and various treatsie-wheetsies from Christmas. What is a fledgling healthy person like you to do with all this temptation around you?
Enter “Snack Weekend”
Years ago I formally declared the first weekend after New Years as “Snack Weekend.” That is the weekend dedicated to eating all of the unhealthy snacks in your house that way you can be healthy for the rest of the year. Also, due to the nature of snack weekend there’s an added bonus: after eating all the unhealthy snacks in your house, you won’t want to even look at another snack again (or for at least a month).
There you go, a nice clean slate to start your resolutions on. Free from the tyranny of holiday treats.
Happy Snack Weekend you filthy animals…
And a happy new year.
