Easter is comming and both Mr. A and I will cheat. Our traditional Easter dinner is Turkish: feta cheese and parsley barrek, baklava, homemade pita, grape leaves stuffed with rice and lamb, and ride pilaf are all usually no nos. Will have a little of all those things as well as lamb shishkabob, yogurt and cucumber salad, olives, and various dips.
Its easier for me to get back on track if my cheating is planned rather than spontaneous.
I'm looking forward to it. Made the baklava yesterday and mailed most of it to our college girls.
I wouldn't say planned, but maybe "resigned to" cheating. Every Easter, all month, candy ads are IN YOUR (or at least MY) FACE. So I end up just saying "fuck it" and buying a 5 lb. bag of whatever candy looks interesting, or tat I normally like (Mounds, toffee, etc). I just have no self control during this time.
As well, if I hit the scale and I've dropped, I'll get reckless. Candy, bakery desserts, and pizza are my main vices. But I do have a knack for sniffing out carbs, wherever they might be.
