Joyce, it's hard to avoid that kind of food when it's in the house for
everyone else.
Maybe you could convince them that those foods aren't healthy for them
either so you won't have to stock them any more?
In the two weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, and for a week after, all
the grocery stores had soda on sale at ridiculously low prices, so of
course, I bought lots. And drank lots.
Then, when the soda was gone, I craved it desperately. So did the Diva.
That stuff is like liquid crack! LMAO.
Had to insist that we not buy any more and finally, we're over the urge
to have it, but it was hard, once we got in the habit of having that
sugar on a regular basis,
We keep a fruit bowl on the kitchen bar, always full of four or five
different kinds of fruit. Another bowl with nuts in the shell (walnuts,
almonds & filberts). If we feel the need for some kind of sweet junk
food, the fruit is a good substitute, and nuts are a good replacement
for salty, crunchy snacks like chips. They take work to open and shell,
so the damage isn't usually too bad, LOL.
Do the sweet snacks mess with your blood sugar???
