This is just a rough draft version I suppose, as I wrote it this afternoon:
(I am aware it is an unusual construct, but I'm feeling unusual today)

Resolution

Don't want to be waiting to live,
Don't want to be waiting for death,
Though the tide repeats outward and back,
Take a stand on the sand as it shifts
Look around and be thankful
for this
may be all that there is.

Then the sun is the jewel that I own,
and its greater than all that I don't.
And the moon is the pearl that surpasses
all others wherever they be.
And the water that sustains this earth
And this earth that has sustenance for me
Is our mansion, inherited by birth
I am rich, I am free.

There are marks on the sand,
There were others who've stood where I am,
There are marks that must fade,
There are marks that I've made.
Though the tide repeats outward and back,
Take a stand on the sand as it shifts
Look around and be thankful
for this
may be all that there is.

I think the only time I felt a bit bad about what I'd eaten after I ate it was when I made a late night decision to have a second slice of the yule log... it went like this...
(late night)
ARB0001 wanders into kitchen and eats a few mini roast potatoes (yum -250)
wanders about kitchen, opens fridge, eats a mini pork pie (yum - 250)
starts eyeing the yule log...
thinks...you are not eating that! you already had a slice earlier today! you have already just scoffed 500 cals you do not NEED that!
thinks.. I know, go and read the box and see how many cals you had earlier on that yule log, that will put you off.
(goes to packet)... yay it was a serves 8 cake and I cut 8 slices (good portioning instincts award to ARB0001) wow its only 250 cals on a slice...
eats a slice of cake (yum -250)
feels guilty and bad afterwards.

but apart from that one time I haven't felt guilty about any of the other treats I enjoyed this Christmas, I'm looking forward to the new year too, bring it on, I feel ready.

I've had a great Christmas - forgot how sleepy turkey makes me though. So I didn't even feel like eating much after a vast Christmas lunch, the following day I really only woke, ate, slept, woke, ate, slept, woke, ate etc... I'm not sure whether I ate anything while still asleep but I'll assume not.

My Christmas relax has been to eat all the traditional elements and who cares if its double carbs for no sane reason or four types of meat or added fats. I made sure Santa brought me a bottle of liqueur for Christmas too and I've had a measure of that here and there- my personal supply of Christmas spirit :) - the other thing is I've been nibbling in complete disregard of whether I am actually hungry, or rather I've been letting myself believe I am hungry when I know very well I am not at all and have already eaten enough - but happily so far the scales have been very forgiving.

Although the pattern of how I'm eating is a bit carefree I do feel as if I haven't gone too wild and that just because I haven't felt deprived at all and just don't seem to want either the same things or the same quantities as past times.

My sister and her family are coming tomorrow and we have a Christmas yule log to serve, I plan to have a slice of it - yes because I always have liked in the past, but mostly because it will really confuse her :-) does anyone sense a bit of sibling rivalry? yeah maybe.
