I'm not a Christmas cake fan either but desperate is as desperate does and if it's the only sweet around I am on it like white on rice...

as for carrot cake, that's just sad to spoil a good carrot cake with those icky things maybe if it has double the cheese cream icing it would help...but yeah little landmine surprises...:-(

now speaking of desperate is...I couldn't bring myself to swallow raisin pie...that would be like ...never mine, you know what it would be like

Yes, it's also a reason why I avoid the Butter Tart. Sometimes they put nuts in them, other times raisins.

But, truth be told, I really don't have a sweet tooth, so avoiding most raisin laden foods is really not complicated for me. I do enjoy a nice fruit topped cheesecake now and then, but it's so heavy I can't eat it often and thus only make it maybe once or twice a year.

All this raisin talk reminds me of swimming in a cold north Ontario lake.

Completely different kind of raisin. 8O

Anyway they 'plump back up'.....eventually, lol.

Not me. Too much sweet. Only every now and then and only with a nice strong cup of coffee.

I'd love to play it like I just have that much will power but that ain't the truth. I'm just more of a chip snacker than sweet snacker, lol.

my guy too, can't have a bag of chips around but a cake could sit there for a month, me I'd polish off either...if it's junkie, I'm there...thus no junk food in the cupboard...I can't have ice cream there either, doesn't matter what it is, it calls to me...literally, and I cave like a house of cards...even if I've eaten a huge meal and am stuffed, put a decent dessert in front of me, it's gone

Chips won't last around me but almost everything else will. Ice cream, usually in the summer I buy the bars (revello, ice cream sandwiches, even popsicles) but I don't over do it. Mostly just have that one to cool down.

I'm a big meat eater (tell me people are shocked, LOL) and I love my starches (pasta, potatoes) but those I tend to do more in winter. I guess I just crave heartier, stick to your ribs foods then. In summer, I mostly want grilled (even indoor grilled) meats with salads.

if it's food, I'm there.

that's why I do all the smoothies and blasts...I have to really chooooooooooooooooooooooooooose to stay healthy...all my life i was that girl stuffing her face who everyone thought was anorexic because I could really knock back the food and burn it off...I think though really I just never ate when I wasn't hungry. I ate when my body said eat. Now if you put food in front of me, I am good to go. So now I have to choose to say no.

Ah, see I've never really eaten all that much. I don't have seconds, to this day I can't manage big portions (I always bring something back from a restaurant), I snack in the evenings which is my worst habit by far but where I will gain is when I'm stressed. Because I am a stress eater! My daughter, she's the complete opposite, when she gets stressed she looses her appetite. My stress has been freaking high the past two years, without much of a break, but I can feel it easing up (thankfully, finally) and I can already begin to see a change in what I want to eat, what I feel like eating.

I do have to make choices, we all do, and certainly any weight gain later in life becomes harder to shed but even when I'm snacking more I think I'm pretty balanced, nutrient wise at least.

it is hard to lose, I know i would be much healthier if I took off five pounds, but damn for the life of me, it isn't happening, now it has to wait until after the New Year. If i maintain over the next month I will be happy.

I have no idea how this ^ got here. lol.

Blackleaf and his bull****? Lol.

Oh goodness, if it was only five pounds I'd be happy, lol. But I'd rather it come off naturally, so to speak, so I won't force it. Just now that the stress is evening out somewhat, I'll be a little more diligent with meal planning.

And maybe walk the long way to work, lol.

good for you and glad for you that your stress level is coming down. It only takes five minutes to drive to work but would take a good 45 to walk it. I'm not there. :(

every step counts,

I hope to get my azz into the pool at night...so far, it ain't been happening. In the summer I am good when off. Up by just after six, walk for half an hour and meet the ladies in the pool by 7. Keep moving for an hour and then out. I always gain weight and lose fat and my clothes feel lose and comfortable. Then I quit going and things get tighter.

I try to swim on Saturdays. If I don't they bug me like this Saturday I slept in due to a martini party on Friday night and the ladies bugged me like I knew they would. didn't get me in the pool though so have had zero workout this week. I likely should go down now but gonna pour a wine instead...lol
