This past week, I made Christmas candy with a friend. We both sampled tiny bits of our creations for flavor and managed to churn out dozens and dozens of sugary bites without actually taking a bite. Then two days later, I was putting together treat bags & totally caved. My pee smelled like syrup the next morning. Now I've went thru most of a bottle of "the good" eggnog, taken APART treat bags to get to the chewy (amazing) rice crispy treats and I've basically quit intermittent fasting. I handled the making of all of that stuff without licking the bowl or spoon, not once! When I was left alone with it all for a few days....eh. My self control wavered. The gooey, crunchy chew of a marmallow-buttery treat is like crack to me. I think I'm down to 31 from about 42 of those treat bags. I toss the rest of the candy... I'm only eating the crispy treats. 🤦♀️
So there's my public confession of accountability. How embarrassing. I know what I need to do...But my brain's hardwired. I have to finish those treats. But why? Why do I need that like I do? I enjoy it so much. I love everything about it. It's probably my favorite homemade dessert ever. Keep your fabcy truffles and carefully prepared cakes & pies! Give me butter, melted marshmallow & rice cereal mixed together. I have to stop eating them. I simply have to get those baggies of sugar out of my house & next year, I'm only going to make recipes of things I don't care for! And don't buy egg nog until closer to Christmas.
