One of the things I love about the ability to bank in advance is that the eating is guilt free. And I know for sure that I will pay the bill because I already did.  As much as I love the actual experience of overeating while I am doing it, I hate the feeling that immediately follows if the work of payback is still due.  Guilt puts such a damper on the fun of eating, don’t you find?  And if I won’t pay in advance when the eating feels like a reward for work well done, why would I pay in hindsight when it feels punitive?

Case in point:  I used to love cruises because I loved the non-stop eating that went along with it.  I know that there are people who get put off by that (like my sister), but I was certainly not one of them, at that time in my life at least.  Buffets stimulate me, and the more I eat, the more I eat…unfortunately.  My stomach can’t handle that anymore (thank you God and old age), but back in the day, I used to take a vacation like that about once a year.  I would pack my elasticized waist clothing, both Prilosec and Pepcid, and just dive in.   And the best part was that I could eat guiltlessly because I had done all the banking in advance, so a couple of days home on my normal routine and the scale would settle out with no weight gain.
