Most respectful dieters wouldn't plan on indulging on sweets to sabotage their dieting efforts. However, some of us dieters have a sweet tooth and it screams to be noticed. If I give in once in a while and eat it, I don't feel too restricted and enjoy the occasional pleasure it gives me to have what I want. Being informed with the knowledge of the content always puts me one a step ahead of the game. Choose among equally appealing treats. If you can't make a decision, it is better to take into consideration the calorie and fat count, that will help you make up your mind quickly!

Talk about the power of suggestion, I'm dying for something sweet to eat and I'm at home right now in a no-fail environment. I am counting on the saying, "out of sight, out of mind" helps me get out of this triggered thought! I know Valentine's Day is coming up and I can always count on my family to feed the fat lady candy, even if she is a borderline Diabetic. They have a tendency to push stuff on me instead of encouraging me to lose weight. I have said no many times but I'm only human. You know me by now the queen of excuses, although, I call them reasons. Chow.
