Early resolution

As we enter the holidays proper, I want to make an early New Year's resolution. During this hallowed season of reindeer and elves and shiny things, for office-dwellers and party-goers, there is a near-constant supply of food available. All the time, everywhere you look, free, cheap, easy. I want to try and only eat things that are genuinely delicious, and not just, well, there. Mere existence and proximity should not be food's most recommending factors. I want to try and save calories for actual splurges, rather than, hey, why not?-treats. That third brownie scrounged from the 5th-floor conference room really doesn't have much going for it and doesn't actually taste very good. Neither do stale cookies from the other group's holiday party. And I don't even like candy canes!!! Hopefully, just reminding myself that about this resolution will be enough to rein myself in a bit. That way, I can actually enjoy Christmas dinner and January RW, rather than groaning, ugh, more food??!!
