Giving up - an honest confession

Sometimes it's good to give up.  This week I decided it was time to give up.  Not everything...just one thing that tends to make me miserable even though I love it so.  You see, I'm a sugar addict.  Yep, there it is.  Chocolate is my nemesis.  There is no such thing as "just a bite" of chocolate, if there is in fact more than a bite to be had.  What brought this up?  Well, I've been feeling crappy.  Physically, emotionally, mentally...all of it.  And, if I'm already feeling the grumps what do I want to do?  Eat more sugar.  I think it finally clicked last week when I made (within a span of two days) oatmeal cookies, chocolate cupcakes and banana muffins (with chocolate frosting of course).  And of course they were gone within a couple of days.  I did have help...the sweet tooth runs in the family. 
On Tuesday night I decided enough was enough.  Some people might be able to live off sugar (I won't name any names here), but I certainly cannot.  I remember last year feeling so much better eating whole foods and no sugar.  So, I told Casey to be sure and remove all the chocolate that doesn't have any wheat in it and bless his heart he did.  So, I'm only a few days sugar-free, but I already feel SO much better. 
Here's to my sanity!
