Like so many of us, I struggle with sugar. If I have even one cookie, or even one of those snack size halloween candy treats, it's all over. My sugar cravings start all over again. They are terrible! Fortunately, for me, Halloween isn't too bad as I don't like chocolate. But Thanksgiving and Christmas, cookies and pies. I struggle. Last year I had none, not even one. I knew it would be all over. However, I did make two sweet potato
pies with marshmallow topping. It was better than pumpkin pie and coolwhip or ICE CREAM and somehow, I made it through. Another really tempting thing for me, is all that bread...then I want butter.....I have to say no to it all, because I am like a *JUNKIE* give me some, and I can't stop, I'm on a binge. It's awful. So no thank you,
teeth clenched for emphasis, because my relatives are food pushers. I try to avoid them as much as possible during the holidays, but there comes a point where I have to make an apperance.
Just a side bar, when I worked in the Hotel business, and I worked shifts, I always used I'm working, or I worked graveyard last night to be able to beg out, without the guilt trip. A couple times of me falling asleep on the couch during festivities, they stopped nagging me. LOL. Oh, I miss those days!
to all of us. Sugar is not our friend.
