My mission, which I chose to accept, was to find pictures of what stands in my way of losing weight. First one is: Malley's Chocolate! It's a local favorite here in Cleveland...and my hips sure show that I've indulged a few too many times!
The second is: Ben and Jerry's Vanilla Caramel Fudge! Lately, I haven't been able to find this flavor in any of my local Giant Eagle stores...so I think God is trying to tell me something! (Especially because I needed two pints at a time to satisfy my craving.) I've also been known to succumb to any brand of Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup ice cream, so I have to stay away!
Obviously this is part of my problem with sugar and chocolate. Since that McCafe Iced Mocha on Sunday, I haven't had any more sugary foods. It was nice to be able to pick up where I had left off, since I had gone 4 days without sugar before the Iced Mocha, and it's now been almost 5 days since drinking all of that sugar. I plan on filling up on healthy foods, and having fruit when I need something sweet. Green grapes are really good for conquering a sugar craving. I may even try freezing them...I've heard they're really good that way.
Mindset is so important...with God I can conquer this, and I will! You can too - I believe in you!!!

Congrats on your successes ! I may join the bandwagon! Green Grapes Frozen are an delicious healthy snack .. especially in the summer
Oh my goodness, you just posted MY monster food, too! That Vanilla Caramel Fudge is just toooooo yummy. Thankfully I haven't had any in a month - I indulged in one pint over 3 days (kept it at my sister's place so I wouldn't overdo) when I had my wisdom teeth out. Anyhow, I'm on the Operation, too - looking forward to hearing about your successes (and mine, too!).
Congratulations on completing our mission this week! :) Chocolate and ice cream seem to be a common enemy among our team! Definitely try freezing the grapes - they almost have a sorbet like texture and consistency when they're frozen :)
Thank you ladies! I know we can all defeat our enemies! I put some grapes in the freezer this morning, so I'll let you know how they are later. :o)
