Let them eat cake!!

Dear Dawn:

So, it's been super-busy as I'm wrapping up the end of the year here, but
here's a quick "how it's going": PRETTY GOOD!!!

I attended a baby shower for a colleague today, I ate a small amount of what I wanted,
and I had a small piece of cake, too. And I do mean small... like, skinny-girl small.
Like the teeny-tiny squares on those finger napkins at weddings that you have to look twice to see,
and there is at least one waif saying "Oh my gosh, this is so rich and just too much for me!" small. Yep, that small.
I must say, for me, that's doing really well. I definitely won't lie and say that I didn't crave more of that yummy,
tooth-rotting icing, but I resisted the opportunity and left it for the rest of the revelers to devour. Go me!
My old self would be grabbing finger-fulls of leftover icing when no one was looking,
so I feel pretty good about this one. You know what else? The cake actually hurt my tummy a little-
I think because it was so sweet! So strange how after even just 2 weeks my body is used to not having
the intense sugar I used to crave. YAY!!!! I think I'm going to make it after all!
See? Told ya' it was a quickie! Now if I can just move more on a regular basis, I'll have a pretty good thing goin'!
