i used to have a theory that if i surrounded myself by treats and sweets then they would no longer be novel or attractive, they would simply cease to call my name. regrettably, this is so very far from the truth. instead, i cannot stop craving sugar. CANDY, CANDY, CANDY! i have become powerless in its midst and given the past few holidays, it is still EVERYWHERE. i can't escape it, i don't want to eat it (but i really do,) and i don't know how to say no to it. in order to temper my passion for the sweet things in life, i am going on a sugar strike. this could likely end in a horrific scene of me in the candy aisle at the local grocer stuffing my mouth full of junior mints, good and plenties, swedish fish and ho ho's, but hopefully it gives me the strength to overcome this monkey on my back. monkeys are cute and all, but this one has got to go, or at least be trained to behave well. back to the sugar strike, i am going to go one week without "sweets." this may seem like no big deal to many of you, but it is HUGE for me. i have decided to begin my strike monday, march 3rd. i will keep you posted on my progress and probably have a few mental and emotional breakdowns via blog. wish me luck, i assure you i am going to need it.

good freaking luck..i know better than to promise something like that to myself. i would turn into godzilla if i tried that.
however, i would LOVE for my kitchen counter to look like that picture!
Don't think I could even entertain the idea, so good luck!
Marce,
I think I may try this with you.I am being super careful about committing myself though because last time I did, I embodied that scene you described above--and it's still going on today!!! Hmm....I've gotta do something though!!! P.S.-I still want to talk to you! How are you? I love reading your blog. I have told myself if/when I get one, I want it to sound like yours. I love your writing!
I feel you lady. I gave up M&Ms for Lent this year, and it was seriously muy dificil in the beginning. I have a running goal of no sweets Monday through Thursday...I meet it probably 1 in every 4 weeks. I love sweets.
