Ladies you know about hungry week. We all have it in one form or another. Any guys reading this have probably witnessed it. Its that one week a month where you crave what ever your down fall food is. For me its carbs and chocolate. My daughters are definitely sweet cravers. It feels like you are always hungry no matter what or how much you eat. You have to have that brownie, that cookie, that luscious cheesecake. The week where you usually just want to wallow in ice cream and m&ms ... that's what we call hungry week.
This was hungry week. It was tough. I wasn't prepared for the the strength of the craving as I made cookies for my husband to take to work on St. Patrick's Day. I mean, I'd made apple fritters the week before and it didn't bother me a bit. But this was hungry week and the cookies were chocolate. And mint ... best combo on the planet!
I did sneak a little lick of the spoon when they were all done. I did not, as I so wanted to do, eat spoonfuls of cookie dough. Oh how I wanted to , but I was able to resist at least that much. But the little fall, the licking of the spoon showed me that kind of food has not lost its grip on me. Probably never will. And that's OK. As long as I can resist most of the time and not beat myself up for the times that I give in, that will be progress. If I can come to a point where I resist all the time that will be a resounding victory.
But for now the struggle reminds me that I am after all, human. Things can be hard in life and those difficulties can come out of nowhere. You just have to get up if you fall, brush the dirt off and keep going.
