I’ve been trying to cut back on the sweets lately, and this weekend I put that into high gear.

Thing is, I REALLY want something sweet right now…REALLY bad. I want to just jump in my car and run to the store for some cake or candy bars…eclairs sound heavenly right now.

I won’t though…nope, won’t. I know I have some will power hidden somewhere and I must utilize it. I **will** be good, dammit! If I break down and go, I’ll only hate myself later.

_whimpers_ Ooooh, but I wants me something sugary and sweet, savory is not an option right now.

Somebody please talk me into some broccoli!

Mmmmm…broccoli! _self is not falling for it_

Now _I_ have an urge for chocolate. And there’s none in the house because my fiance ate it all before he left. Nooooooooooo!

I am convinced that sugar is an addictive drug. Whenever I decide to cut back, I have withdrawal symptoms.

Ok, it’s not heroine, but it still bugs me that something so ubiquitous is so hard to walk away from.
