The next decade....what's in store?

Willpower?

I think I don't have any willpower. But then I believed the writings of Adele Puhn who said that is not a question of not having willpower, but just a physiological matter....this thing we call cravings.

Once you send your blood sugar out of whack, it starts behaving real crazy. Mine has been out of whack because I have been having brownies and cookies at lunch most days. I don't didn't have sweets in the house except good-for-you Grenadian chocolate before today. But a friend was staying with me this week while on a work assignment and I thought it would be nice to buy some ice cream. It was for him, except he was leaving tonight so Yamfoot, I don't know how that makes sense!

Anyway, along with the ice cream I was going to buy one pack of Chips Ahoy cookies, then I remembered I had written a note on my phone saying "No brownies, no cookies, no cake, no sweets...Remember the size 14" so I didn't buy them. Victory. Small victory, for then I said lemme have a sundae. That required chocolate syrup, walnuts and M & Ms.

I had one bowl. Then two. Ok, don't panic, I stopped there. But still, willpower busted. AAAaaarrgh!
