I love it ALL.
I have a crazy sweet tooth.
And not only do I have a crazy sweet tooth, I also have a “fat tooth.”
See, I love ALL things sweet and fattening. Cookies, pies, cakes, ice cream, donuts, chocolate, etc, etc. If it has sugar and some kind of oil or Earth Balance in it, I’m all over it.
I know people who can have things like ice cream and cookies in their home and occasionally eat a small bowl or just one small cookie at a time. I have friends who have candy dishes full of mints or Hershey Kisses sitting out in their foyer.
Not me!
I simply cannot have any of that kind of food in the house unless I am prepared to eat it. All of it. I tend to think “I’m going to eat it all anyway so why not just eat it ALL right now? Why wait?”
Now I know that as far as vices go, it could be worse. Much worse. And I do get lots of exercise and eat as many fruits, veggies, and whole grains that I can so overall I feel my diet is OK. It’s just the sweets.
So here’s today’s throwdown: no sweets for one week.
Sweets meaning cookies, pies, cakes, ice cream, muffins, etc.
My thinking is that maybe if I rid my body of all sugar I’ll get over this craving I have?
Can I do it?
It will be challenging that’s for sure.
Are you in this with me?

Wow, good luck!
I enjoy my sweets every once in a while and I make sure we don’t really buy them so I don’t have them around torturing me.. but I do love my treats sometimes.
yep, I’m in.
thank goodness pizza is not on the list.
I actually really don’t like desserts. My vice would be wine. I love to have a glass of wine with my dinner. So I will take a no wine challenge instead.
