This isn't even hyperbole. With several Christmas parties requiring me to bake in my home, plus return home with more treats, this girl has been left in a dangerously cookie-laden world. While making this pie chart, I realized that in one 24-hour period, I had eaten only cookies, chocolates and treats. And yesterday after finally eating a hearty sandwich, I couldn't figure out why I was stuffed until midnight.
Oh my.
So, on a return trip from the gym, I stopped at the grocery store and dropped fifteen dollars on a fruit tray. Extravagant, I know. But finals week draws nigh, and I simply must keep something around that is healthy + quick...and as alluring as the frosted sugar cookies that pervade my world.
Fresh pineapple and strawberries might give a mint brownie a run for its money...right? :)
Oh Bethany, I am having an opposite kind of problem - I am supposed to be on a strict diet and finding all the festive food I feel I 'should' be eating very hard to resist!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck for those finals dear girl!

Suuuure, you keep telling yourself that! hehe It's funny, given the choice between a sandwich or a plate of brownies, I'd always choose the sandwich. Love sandwiches to death! But I feel your pain, I have to send everything I make to work with John or I'd be in major trouble.
ReplyDeleteI definitely have a sweet tooth (and a soft spot for cake + cookies + pasteries), but I LOVE fruit, and feel much better after filling up on that instead.

P.S. I love your pie chart :P
Smart move on the fruit - I may have to follow your example.
ReplyDeleteLOVE love love this diet chart!! Ugh... the holidays leave me so helpless for sweets. I'm opting for yogurt. Love your idea of a fruit tray. Sometimes you simply have to rearrange your spending priorities! :)
ReplyDeleteAmen to that! My problem is sweets in general, not just cookies!
ReplyDeleteMy holiday diet looks pretty much the same. Which is why my new work pants (cargo-style with tons of flaps and pockets) look super awful on me :D So yeah, I think I'll buy some fruit tomorrow, too!
ReplyDeletehaha, love the pie chart! you're so funny. luckily, I haven't been around too many cookies so I'm doing ok on the holiday sweets front. BUT tomorrow is my work's holiday office party so we shall see just how long I can abstain from the goodies of the season!
ReplyDeletep.s. I just remembered I did have two cupcakes this past weekend. but I can't exactly blame christmas. I was at a baby shower! and they were soooo good :)
Haha I would love to eat more yummy foods. Especially biscuits (cookies).
ReplyDeleteI don't mind fresh fruit like strawberries and pineapple. I especially love watermelon in the summer time.
But sweets almost go hand in hand with Christmas so it's difficult not to eat them. x
