the crash-and-burn

Well, I told myself this past sunday I would go one week without any sugar.
Now, this is a huge undertaking for someone who loses her train of thought every time Mr. Softee drives by; I told myself "it's all in your head! Look beyond the swirly cone with a happy-face (coy little devil). 
So sunday, being a fresh start, went by no problem, believe it or not. Again - HUGE success for one who's been accused of surviving on a diet of sugar and plastic (gummy bears). Then yesterday, not too shabby; at work the whole day flew by without me even missing it...thanks to 4 pieces of (sugarless) melon Trident.

Then today, coffee. First few sips. Meh, I never minded coffee with no sugar. 
Imaginary gummy bear on shoulder "Yea, sure, it's drinkable. But think how much better would it be with whipped cream on it, eh? eh? Come ooon, that can is just sitting in the fridge being delicious all alone. Make it party."

Damn him. FOILED ON MY THIRD DAY!!
That's ok, Mr. Bear, you may have tricked me this day, but tomorrow I'll win. 

I do give myself some credit though - I went grocery shopping and bought not one sugary delight! Just dried fruit. But that doesn't count, because it's no sugar...added. I haven't made up my mind about honey just yet. I'll sleep on it.
