I love sweets. Sweets like this hot fudge sundae I am sharing with two of my favorite girls. Sweets mean reward to me. Sweets mean special occasion. Sweets mean I am bored. Sweets mean I am trying to avoid something. Sweets mean I am happy. Sweets mean I am sad. It is any wonder I find getting this sweet thing under control so complicated?
I know all the nutritional facts. I know my father is a diabetic. I know, I know, I know BUT that doesn't seem to help. So here is what I am going to do.
1. Take it one temptation at a time
2. Plan for those snack attacks (after school)
3. Face up to what ever I am feeling; identify it..don't eat it!
4. Don't keep highly tempting food in the house
5. Track food on Lose It

so...tomorrow is pretty packed. I will put together white chicken chili in the morning before school. I will have crackers and cheese for an afternoon snack. I will have yogurt/fruit for breakfast and a cliff bar for lunch. I will have warm cider if I am hungry at night.
I have a plan....much more likely to have success with a plan!
