I can relate! It is all about the choices we make at 'that moment'. I am guilty of listening to my little voices of denial about sweets and it always starts me down a path of unhealthy choices. I thought by joining the Diet Bet it would be easy to give up sweets but I am learning that it isn't nearly as easy as I thought! It is a pretty strong addiction.

I have always wanted to be around a family that is just amazing in the kitchen -- one that's passionate about enjoying food. It sounds wonderful, but I can imagine your struggle. On only the second day of the contest I now know why the weight crept up on me like it did: I was eating a little of this and a little of that ALL DAY. I've been very conscious of how much I am not eating now!

You can do this -- saying no to the first tempting treat means you can say no to all of them. But you could allow yourself a little something just to take the sweet edge off. I like 1/2c plain, 0 fat Greek yogurt with about 1/4c berries and a few (or 3) packets of Truvia.

Oh, and I would love to have that recipe!
So....I signed up!

What a great attitude. I also feel that dietbet is just one of many changes. For example, I plan to get off the couch and out in the cold this winter to try skiing and snowshoeing. Maybe winter doesn't have to be so terrible!
