Day 8 NO to cupcakes

Challenges of a Mom on a sugar-free diet:
My daughter made cupcakes on Sunday with honeyman.  This is after he decided to bake choc-chips cookies just out of the blue. I couldn't stand to even smell it.  It was a hard day; but I overcame.  Life without cupcakes...it's not so bad.  "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels", I keep reminding myself.   I think the hypnosis must be working because it wasn't so hard to just say no. 

Today I actually ate in the Cafe.  They had a beef machaca sandwhich that I had them turn into a "taco" salad... lettuce, salsa & meat.  "thinking outside the bun"...  Of course, I had to drill the "chef" for the ingredients...just in case.  You never know when they will sneak in sugar.  (Like in the chicken brine!)  And of course, an apple for "dessert".  I'm a big apple kick again. 

I'm already out of time.  It's a crazy month end week. So I have to keep this short today.

Someone sent me this link quite a while ago and although it's quite a long video, I think it's worth sharing.
