I was actually planning to avoid the entire weekend and stay away from all the temptations that Mardi Gras brings. Kingcake, street food vendors, snacks, alcohol... alcohol.... alcohol. But, my folks really wanted us to come.
So in addition to these temptations, I'm headed back home... home... to an environment where I am not know for having the most nutritious diet... where I have never really eaten well. I was a picky eater as a child who would never try food. It has really restricted me as an adult and allowed me to establish some pretty bad eating habits. So, maybe I'm nervous to be the old me again.
You know how you feel a particular way when you are in certain environments? Well, when I'm home around my parents I still feel like the child. This isn't necessarily because they treat me like that... it's just that they are the parents.
Anyway, I'm a little stressed about how I will do. Can I go home and enjoy Mardi Gras without gaining a pound? I sure hope so. I'd hate to think I can never go home again.
