Almost everyday I tell myself that I should really eat more healthy and get rid of the sweets I eat. The problem for me now is that there are so many scrumptious recipes on the food blogs I read that I can never get away from it. Something about looking at the gorgeous pictures of delectable food that makes me want some of it...NOW.
Yesterday I saw a simple donut recipe that I had everything for so I just had to try it. Then today I found this. (don't click that link unless you want to be bombarded with deliciousness--I keep looking...I can't stop....I want to make it all!!!) Oh how I want to make one of my very own. It looks so wonderful I'm drooling right now...maybe I'll save the recipe for when I host book club or make it to take to some other get together. Then at least my desire to not look like a pig will keep me from eating too much of it and I'll have some help besides my little family. I'm guessing this is why I haven't been able to lose that "muffin top" of mine. I would just stop reading food blogs altogether, but often they have awesome dinner recipes too and I NEED those to keep us from getting bored.
If you have awesome self control in the food dept I need some help. How do you turn down delicious treats? Can you eat just ONE or do you have to turn them down completely? What is your vice when it comes to food...the thing you can't turn down?

Cookies are my serious problem. It's all or nothing with me. I can't just have one. I'm like an addict, in a very bad way.
A few times in my adult life I have had some serious self-control, but I don't think I have ever made it past about 10 weeks. It was when I was doing Body for Life. It works, but I just can't be that good permanently. (o:
I have great self control when I'm not pregnant or nursing. Otherwise I have to make the dessert or cookies for company, or give them away before I think about eating the rest! It's so hard. Remember in the scriptures it says moderation in ALL things. That doesn't mean you can't have SOME. :)
