Left Over Sweets…to cheat or not to cheat!
So I had a Ya Ya Sisterhood Party last night. The air was thick with the smell of our favorite foods, melting hot glue for homemade head dresses, the occasional glass of wine, incense and long burning candles, and varying layers of perfume from the 6 women who gathered. A brownie crusted, marshmellowy, raspberry drizzled yummy thing floated with us from kitchen to living room. And this morning as I woke, I found the fridge stacked with two plates of left-over delicacy the my dear cousin made.
I grabbed one straight off. Ate the first bite walking down the hall, chewed as I logged on. Mindlessly took another bite. Then scanned my profile page. Picked it up to take the third bite. The reality in my head of what was seeing on the sight and what I was experiencing in my mouth didn’t jive. I could be the BuddySlimmer I wanna be and continue to eat this. So I set it to the right. And there it sits, witnessing the typing of this blog.
I feel like the executioner. I want to destory these helpless little treats before they destroy me! I am not sorry for what I am going to do to you little brownie. The way I see it, this is war! You may sit there half-eaten, yapping out your sweet talk of how great it would be to have the rest of you or maybe even a second…your twin who waits for me in the fridge. But I will not let you be a parasite to my will. I will be the victory on this rainy day. Even though my dear cousin slaved over some mixing bowl for you, I will not give into your lovely temptations. You are going DOWN… and I don’t mean my throat….you are going down the drain…to be chewed up by the blades of my disposal. You are outa here!
I can relate! My dad’s bday was last week and we had pizza and cake for dinner.
Well I finished the pizza for lunch (it was veggie) but I am steering clear of the leftover ice cream cake! One serving that night was enough.
I’m telling myself it tastes like food I don’t like…seems to be working so far.
Sounds like everyday living to me. I love how you looked at it though. That was very good. I hope to become a victor like you. I read your remark on the buddy request about counseling…. Tell me more. What type of counselor are you going to be? What type of classes are you taking? How hard are they?
Throw out the left overs. I doesnt sound like it’s safe to even put them away for later. Just get rid of them. You want to lose weight. You want to get fitter, leaner, healthier. Those sweets will NOT help you out here. Keeping them in the house is setting yourself up for self sabotage.
Good job in putting down the plate of sweet though. That was a tough thing to do, so well done!
Lots of willpower there Rae but maybe you should take little flower’s advice so you are not tempted that way any more. Linda
