Holiday cake roll

Master the Holiday Munchies :cake:

.

It's Christmas eve, and you've decided to binge watch your favorite television show overnight and into the next day. Why not? No one is coming over. No one is expecting you for Christmas dinner. You've got a full weekend of nothing but me-myself-and-I.

You push away the thoughts of all the things you'll be missing this year and try to focus on the everything you'll be missing--all of the things you could never stand about the December holiday. Anyway, you can still have the things you like--your favorite cake, the cookies you adore, and all of the sugary drinks and desserts that make the holidays worth the trouble--they are all just a few screen taps away. Someone will surely be available to deliver them.

You breathe a sigh of relief. This holiday might be the best ever.

You settle into the couch cushion just as the tenth episode starts. Things are getting good. The main character, a model in crisis, takes a visit from her other model friends, who tell her straight.

"You are too fat to walk the runway! The entire thing could collapse underneath you. Darling, you know we love you, but we can't be seen with you until you lose at least 20 pounds."

The model in crisis pouts. She knows her friends' words are true but her energy-optimizing medication, which pulled her out of her depression, has caused her to eat endlessly.

Whatever can she do?

As you watch all of this, excited and terrified to see what kind of disastrous decision the model in crisis will make this time, something quietly nags at you.

It isn't until the end of the episode, after the model in crisis ends up in the hospital and has to figure out a way to get to her fashion shoot by daybreak on the next morning, that you realize what is bothering you.

"Oh yeah," you say out loud. "I am supposed to clean up my diet."

Your annual exam with your doctor wasn't terrible, but wasn't great, either. You determined to make some changes, mainly to cut out the junk, to eat more vegetables and to drink more water.

Hey, you think to yourself, if the model in crisis can do it, I certainly can.

By episode 15, you begin to feel that call. You know very well that no one is coming down the chimney, you don't even have a fireplace, but you are feeling that milk and cookies should be available to you at least.

You decide to:

Drink the milk and skip the cookies

or

Drink a big glass of water

or

Eat half the amount of cookies and milk

or

Fill a bowl with cookies and a glass of milk and go to town
