I heard after from my mother that it really wasn't a good cake. I used that memory a couple of weeks ago at a barbecue that also ended with birthday cake, cookies, squares, etc. (a table full of desserts). I've decided that I'll spend my calories on things that I enjoy (and that will be worth it). I'll work on a healthier version of the chocolate zucchini cake that I know I'll end up making when we've got too many of the damn things.  |
Thanks Anne... There was a gingerbread on the menu that sounded SO good, and I can't say I'd have abstained if anyone had ordered it... but now that I am seeing bits of progress (and when I remind myself that it's been less than 2 weeks of really counting every bite) it's easier to stay on track. Or maybe I'm FINALLY getting the sugar addiction/cravings out of my system? I just know I feel stronger when I'm building on success... it's too easy to rationalize when I'm not in a strong place, too easy to say "eh, I've been good all day so I deserve..." - WRONG!!!!
