  • Oh, the temptation!!

    I told myself a few minutes ago, as I was cutting the BEST tasting french silk chocolate pie for my kids, that I would have to post either that I tasted some or that I resisted, and well......I resisted!! It was DARN hard too! Very few things will tempt me, but my wonderful hubby went and bought two of these pies that are so delectable that they are hard to resist.

    Just wanted you all to know that I am human too, and there are some foods out there that beckon me with their siren songs.


    Thank God for....

    Good for you g-mom! I was walking thru the grocery store yesterday and the just baked crusty french loaves were all calling out to me. normally walking thru the bakery doesn't bother me at all. It must be the full moon

      I am less tempted some times than other times, I was really hungry when slicing up that pie, which sure doesn't help!! Thanks for the cheer!!

                    LOL Jane. Well done G MOM! We can do it!

                    If my BF leaves chips or mashed potatoes or something that I cant eat on his plate, I tell him to throw it in the bin IMMEDIATELY in case I'm tempted to eat it. Its bad enough having to sit next to him and watch him eat it, never mind it calling to me when he's full and its lying on his plate, waiting for me to finish it off.

                      And I'll bet that French silk chocolate sings clearly and loudly. You may be just human, G-Mom, but you're a heck of a strong woman to resist that song!.

                          Thanks, you guys!! It was so hard. We would buy that pie when I was heavy and I would polish off at least half of it. I didn't check the info, but I would say one tiny slice has a zillion carbs. I felt so good all day and proud of myself!

                            Well done resisting that temptation
                            You are such an inspiration, and proof that it can be done!
