Admitting you have a problem....

Isn't that the first step in dealing with an addiction? My name is JoyfullyFit and I'm addicted to sugar. I would rather have a Coca Cola then water (plus I'm a water snob...a whole other blog) and I would rather start my day with sugar then something good for me.

This addiction has become all the more evident this week. Christmas is upon us and I love to bake, especially during the holidays. I went to a Christmas party the other night and made these AWESOME truffles...not at all healthy. I thought I could make them for the party and that way I could eat a couple and enjoy them, but they wouldn't be sitting in my fridge all week. That brings me to my second addiction...chocolate!!!! Those two addictions, on top of very little will power, made for a bad situation when I returned home from the party with a lot of leftover truffles.

It's a good thing I exercise a lot because I think I had a truffle for breakfast many days this week. All of this coupled with the fact that I really want to bake.

I may have found the solution!

I enjoy sharing with others...especially food (unless it's my food and it's my husband that wants me to share). So here is what I'm doing this year. I'm making my usually treats for friends and neighbors, but this year I'm only making enough to give away and for my family to get to "sample" each treat. That way I get to combined my two favorite things (baking and giving) and indulge my addictions...a little.
