Awash in sugar, carbs and simple volume, I am literally swimming against the tide. I have no exercise plan. My mother has a treadmill, but we're kind of tired. I start to think maybe I'll work out at the hotel tomorrow. That thought gives me peace as I embark on another big day of non-stop eating.

Of course, the family holiday supper is not very much different in practical reality from the 'all you can eat buffet' but in many ways it's worse because in some cases, as tonight, you are literally sitting at the table looking at the food. So unlike the buffet where you can win the skirmish by just not going up again to the buffet (even though your wallet cries out for you to do so) it's nearly impossible to sit at the table when you have to pass this or that thing to this or that other person. Then on Passover, you HAVE to eat matzoh sandwiches. It's in the Haggadah. No fooling around, you have to. Of course the Jews of ancient Egypt didn't need South Beach because they were walking all the time.
