I certainly agree with today's topic. We rarely have desserts other than the fruit and frozen yogurt I've mentioned on a number of blog entries. As for pastries, cakes, etc - we keep them out of the house. My husband enjoys baking cakes - and even has a collection of fancy bundt cake pans - including a heart, a fleur de lys, a cathedral, a wreath and I've forgotten what else...and he just ordered a gingerbread house "for the grandkids"! He only bakes cakes to take to church socials, or to my Mom at her foster care home, or for other occasions - usually at someone else's house. When we go out to dinner, we also rarely order dessert. We do of course enjoy desserts on special occasions - such as birthdays and holidays.
The exercise today is to make a list of favorite desserts, write a description of each one, and then decide on which occasions eating such desserts would be justified. I am skipping this exercise because, once again, it is something I already do. I've also found my solution to the frozen yogurt and fruit I do have at the house. Yesterday, I simply topped a bowl of mixed berries with a TABLESPOON of frozen yogurt (basically "two bites") and found that it was very satisfying. With that, I'm still only having this "treat" once a week, as in Day 25's topic: "Smaller Amounts, Less Often". I actually find that now I've taken ownership of "my program" and have declared that I will protect my program, no-matter-what, keeping to my "boundaries" becomes less and less of a challenge.
What did I do today to demonstrate my total commitment to my program?
