Topic: RE: Halloween?
I'll have to admit, sifting through my son's candy was a bit tough. This whole week has been tough for me. I haven't lost any weight going on two weeks and I've been having a lot of personal problems, naturally I crave chocolate. Thankfully I have a few sugar free sweets available and they help, but I definitely had to put the candy up. I went to Wendy's and bought those free Jr. Frosty coupons for my trick-or-treaters, didn't have to have candy in the house at all! Normally, I don't miss candy, I'm not really sure what's going on inside me right now.
Take this morning, we had a birthday party at work. The girls brought in Doughnuts/Danishes, a chocolate cherry pie, chocolate oatmeal revel bars, grapes, an egg baked thing, and apple crisp with vanilla ice cream. I had the toughest time. I don't even like doughnuts and they looked good. I took one bite of the apple crisp, a chuck of eggs, a fist full of grapes, and a smidge of the chocolate oatmeal cookies. Normally this stuff doesn't bother me, we've had dozens of parties lately.
I'm a bad girl. It could've been worse, but I figure I better admit it here. I'm sure you guys understand.
Tomorrow will be better, I HOPE!
Amber
