I love pie. I love cake too. Actually, I am not a discriminator of desserts now that I think about it. I really can't think of a dessert that I would not enjoy. In fact, I love sweets so much, I plan my meal around what would go best with the dessert I am in the mood to have that evening. Don't even get me started on ice cream! Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream had to be lost in translation when the land of milk and honey was promised in the bible.
I know that my sweets addiction (I mean let's call it what it is) is not healthy and is borderline insanity, but I love dessert. Dessert is not something that I am willing to give up. However, I do have to make a choice. I can't have dessert with every meal (yes, the chocolate pudding cup after lunch counts as dessert) and be healthy.
In the quest to find a healthy lifestyle I have come across a lot of diets. What I have found is, for the most part, the people using these diets are unhappy. I am not talking about the people that have found balance, I am talking about those that give up everything to be thin. And by everything, I mean even ICE CREAM! They give up everything- time, money, sweets, fun- to be their perfect size. They only eat cake on their birthday!! That is so weird-especially since our family celebrates 8 birthdays a year.
I want the balance. I want the healthy. I want the fun and I want the time. Time is the most important thing we can give to those we care about. Why would I throw away my time for sugar, nicotine or laziness? I want to be here for my family. I want to watch my babies grow up, meet my grand-babies and hug my great grand-babies. I want my cake and eat it too. Don't you?
hugs,
Chandra
