As a mother you realize something is wrong when 10 minutes after dinner your kids ask for a treat. You tell them "no" because we just ate dinner and in your mind you think that you want to teach them that you don't always need a treat after a meal. What makes it worse is when right after you tell them no you go into your bedroom and pop in 3 thin mint cookies into your mouth and are already thinking about the ice cream and hot fudge purchased last night.
I am a total hypocrite. I stopped eating because I felt satisfied and close to full. Somehow I myself have become so trained to want sugar all the time. I sure hope these girls don't pick up their mom's bad habits like sneaking treats after each meal and through out the day. Maybe after the baby comes I will purge my house of any treats. I should start tomorrow, but I don't want to throw out all the treats because I still want to eat them. Maybe I will stop buying treats from this day forward and will finish off whatever is left until all is gone.

Annie you make us laugh!! Thats for saying it how it is!!
I say the same thing almost daily. But does it happen? No way! Because I know there are going to be those days when I just need to have that chocolate, or I get a craving for some black cherry kool aid. So what I do is get my favorite candies in their mini form and then when I have one I don't feel too bad. Well, except when I consume five of them without knowing it!
I am so guilty as well. If those darn thin mints didn't taste so good! It's totally not your fault.
