I am fasting from desserts for two months. Here are some of my most recent adventures.
Day two, February 12:
Went to Sam's club to buy DESSERT for the Tri-ward activity. Those old ladies were handing out Carrot Cake. (I LOVE CARROT CAKE, and I love free samples). I went right over and grabbed one, then grabbed another to hand to TJ. He (obviously remembering my goal to fast from dessert) gave me a very confused look,
"What are you doing?" He queried.
"Well, don't you want one?" I responded.
"No, what are you doing?" He repeated.
"TJ, it's Carrot cake, don't you want one?"
"Ummmmm Dessert fast?" And I finally understood.
That was a close call! As we passed by this temptress later, she had samples of NY Cheesecake. TJ partook, while I salivated.
Day four, February 14:
Made a special Valentine for TJ out of No-bake cookies and angel food cake. I picked up a few morsels at one point brought them right up to my lips saying to myself, "It's not a whole dessert." But then I grew strong and threw them away.
Laban and Carly brought over an entire plate of GOODIES. (Thanks Laban and Carly, And Trey) I, so far, have resisted!

Oh, Debra, Debra. Why the insanity? Although, I must say how extremely proud of you I am. I would certainly not have your will-power. Good thing you've got TJ there to eat your treats for you. He's a good husband like that.
Debra Dawn!!! I found your blog through the most round-about clicking on blogs that I could possibly do. When I saw that it was you, it was like I'd hit the lottery in VEGAS!!! I am SO excited to have found you. So I'm adding you as a friend on my blog so I can stalk you like crazy and you can add us, if you'd like. (I have TWO little girls now!) I have to add.....we have a niece named Sofi Elizabeth and she's our favorite little girl in the whole wide world, so I'm sure your little Sophie is just as great. She's so, so beautiful Deb - congratulations!
Love,
Katy Andersen Rawlins
(I had to delete my comment right before this because it was linked to the wrong email account - so this one should link you right to my blog......sorry!)
Day seven went something like this: "Stress Stress Stress Stress Stress. Jello and Angel Food Cake. Then no desserts until day 14. So it's going to turn into a once/week thing.
