Christmas season has hit full force. I love it so much- I'm really in the Christmas spirit this year. But I wasn't anticipating the TEMPTATION. I've been so good to stay away from crappy food, but I feel it wearing away at me. The goodies are tempting me more & more (like the ice cream I mentioned last post).
The neighbor gifts has started coming... corn puffs (the chip-like puffs that I USED to use to make into carmel puffs to take around for our neighbor gifts), homemade fudge with marshmallows and nuts. I have to admit- I tasted the fudge. And WHEW- sugar rush. So sweet I could hardly eat it, thank goodness :).
But I've got to prepare mentally for the weeks ahead & make a plan. I think I'll get some more extra dark chocolate that I ate back in August & allow myself some instead of whatever goodie I'm trying to avoid.
You could also mix up some cocoa powder with coconut oil and nutbutter and stevia or a little honey for a yummy treat! I've found that since I've cut down on my carbs and increased fat and protein I've had a lot fewer cravings, too.
