Sweet Tooth

Okay, I'm supposed to have given up eating all kinds of refined sugar, and I'm supposed to be avoiding foods with high fructose corn syrup or evaporated cane juice, so why do I have a bunch of chocolate bars at home, and why did I just buy an XXL bag of M&Ms? So much for self-discipline.

There are all these diets going around right now, but I do find that that part about giving up sugar really did wonders for me. I really did lose weight! I know, I know, some people will probably say that I don't need to, but it makes me feel pretty darn good. I don't want to be stick thin; I just want to get rid of that feeling of being too meaty somehow. Sometimes when I haven't worked out for awhile and/or I've been eating poorly, I feel uncomfortable in my clothes, as if there's just a tad less space to move around in them, and my body doesn't like it. I can't describe it any better than that.

So what to do with my sweet tooth? I still have so much hopia (Filipino dessert) at home, and the warm days are coming, which means I'll be craving ice cream everyday again. Will the temptations never cease?!?!?!
