Some Christmas sweets

Hi there.

I thought I would share a thought or two. See Christmas was all about eating and desserts for me before sugery. Obviously that's different now. Well, I've been dreading doing all my holiday baking as I know I can't eat any of it.  Well, I saw in the Swiss Colony catalog they had a sugar free Confections tin. It was not cheap but I thought it might help me through so I felt that I had some treats. It arrived yesterday. Again, you don't get alot for your money, but I don't need to eat alot. So, while constructing gingerbread houses last night I wanted a treat. So, I opened the tin and ate one sugar free petit four. YUMM! And I can't believe it but it totally satisfied me!! Before surgery I could eat 5-10 petit fours in a sitting, now one did the trick!  Anyway, if any of you are looking for something like this, I will post the link for you.  It has petit fours, brownies, and some chocolate candies. Of course you have to watch the sugar alcohols, but if you eat one piece or two at a sitting, you should be all set.

Happy Holidays everyone!!

Thanks Robyn.  I guess my limit on sugar free sweets needs to be just one also -- last night I ate 3 tiny sugar free peanut butter cookies and felt SO SICK to my stomach I had to go to bed!  I was a sweet eater, so maybe I need to realize they just aren't going to work in my new life and cut my losses and decide when & if I do need a fix just one will satisfy!
