Oh boy am I in trouble.
They only LOOK innocent!
Most of you know I’m the proud Mommy of two. When Baby #2 announced his imminent arrival, I made up my mind that I would lose all the baby weight by his first birthday. Around 45 pounds give or take. I stuck to that goal. I worked hard at eating well, getting plenty of water and exercising almost daily. Nothing too extreme mind, but consistent.
When Thanksgiving and his birthday rolled around, I had made my goal and was feeling pretty good about myself. I still have a few extra pounds hanging around from Baby #1 aka Miss Sassy Pants, but that’s another matter.
Then came December. I’m huge on handcrafting Christmas, which translates to a lot of goodies to eat. Of course, as everyone knows, if you are giving the gift of food, it has to be good and you have to TASTE it as you go. Quality Control at its’ yummiest!
I CAN’T turn off the SUGAR!
I know it’s bad for me, but I swear those extra Oreos are yelling my name every time I walk by the pantry. The tub of chocolate icing leftover from my birthday cupcakes did the same every time I opened the door to the fridge. Come on, just a little taste. What’s the harm….
I’m entering a plea here. How do I kick this sugar habit back to the curb where it belongs??
If any of you know any Jedi-mind-tricks I can pull on myself, let me know!
Because I’m in TROUBLE.
To add to the temptation, Miss Sassy Pants is a Daisy Scout, which means: GIRL SCOUT COOKIES will very shortly be invading my home!
I’m trying, I really am. Wish me luck!
Unfortunately, the only thing to do is throw them away. OR send them to me
And yet, I just keep eating them. Now the girl scout cookie invasion has come to fruition. Need to sell these bad boys as fast as I can!
I know what you mean. My latest craving is this Jif Hazelnut chocolate stuff. I put it on wheat bread to make myself feel better, but I could really eat this stuff right out of the container with a spoon.
I’ve eaten Nutella straight off the spoon. [?]
It’s just like the nutella stuff, just Jif’s version. I’ve already done that and I had to put in the back of the pantry so I wouldn’t see it every time I opened the door. How sad is that …
