Candy is my favorite. Seriously.
Some facts about candy, and it's relationship with me and my family.
- No matter how many days a week I teach Zumba, I will never get rid of these flesh pockets sitting on my hips, because of candy.
- My three root canals, and myriad other teeth problems are not completely because of candy, but I have no doubt it played a pretty significant role.
- Elliot is having oral surgery next month... due in large part to my bad genetics, and of course, candy.
- When I was pregnant with Rousseau, I craved sugar like you would not believe. In fact during my pregnancy I had a very special dream once where I was able to take a private tour of a pastry shop, and I could eat anything I wanted. Best. Dream. Ever.
- I don't remember the last time I went through an entire day without eating sugar in some form or another; usually chocolate, but also cookies, Cherry Pepsi, ice cream, chai latte, various baked goods, you name it really...
Elliot and I made a "Hogwarts Gingerbread House Castle". The marshmallow on the top, Elliot told me it was smoke from the chimney, but I still think it's Neville Longbottom after the incident with the broomstick and the remembral. We added a little more after this, but you get the general idea. Where was Astoria during all this you ask?
And we are still a good 4 days away from the sugar-fest that is Christmas.
I'm not promising anything, but in order to avoid the evil diabetes fairy that is probably waiting around the corner, something must be done.
Like I said, I can't straight out promise that candy and I are totally splitsville, but I need help. really. So, if you have any advice to offer? that would be pretty amazing.
I hope your Christmas is the best thing ever. Better than a backstage pastry shop tour (ooooohhhhhh.....).
