Confessions of a sugar-holic

After 9 days without sugar, I feel like I am entitled to be skinny. I should have lost at least 30 lbs and look like an amazing super-model. How come being healthy is so hard? Why is it so much easier to eat fun, yummy things, than yucky things? I know there are people out there that think salmon is delicious and when they go to a restaurant they order fish with steamed veggies and say how delicious it is and how they cannot imagine anything tasting better. And for dessert they have that incredible apple! WOW! What tastes better than a crisp, delicious apple. I will tell you what tastes better than salmon and apples... Um... pasta... fettucini alfredo, and big crusty bread dipped in olive oil! And for dessert, chocolate. Any chocolate will do. Instead I have been eating nuts and seeds... snacking on nuts and seeds makes me feel like a squirrel. But man, I am going to be one healthy squirrel... right? I know, I know, I can do it... keep up the good work... blah blah blah. I want some M&M's...

I hear you, sister! There is nothing better in this world than fettucine alfredo. The Easter candy is taunting me at every store I go into. It is incredibly insane. Just try to meditate or something. Oh, and I can assure you that you will never be skinny snacking on nuts...seeds, yes, nuts, no. Love me some almonds and cashews! I ate half a can of cashews the other day.

No chocolate... my sympathys, I don't know how you are doing it. Yesterday I had to break out the bag of chocolate chips (one of those days)... ohhh and I over-heard a girl talking about how her only treat was a chocolate chip cookie that she would maybe have once a week... and she was going on about how she hated candy... I wanted to punch her, but it being in public and all! So kudoos for you and 9 days... it's awesome!
