ugh

confession time: i'm have been trying my best to 'be good' and stay gluten and dairy free for my health and the sanity of my poor husband. (laying in bed unable to move or sleep for hours just isn't ever ideal...) In its place, I have turned to 100% refined, processed, pure sugar to satisfy my need for pleasure. ie. marshmallows, chocolate chips, etc... bad.  kinda nasty if you think about it too much. like i could perhaps qualify for one of those 'strange eating' shows..... oy!

for the sake of my teeth and glucose levels and general health, I have decided to give up sweets for lent. this will be a true fast for me on several levels. 1. as stated previously, i am currently about as addicted to sweets as one could be (generally gf, df... but sometimes i don't even care and cheat) 2. when i want sweets, which is all the time, i will be forced to focus on God instead..... this is going to be a good thing but not quite so easy. God and I are generally close, but i'm a lil crabby pants with him as of late and so it will be an important but challenging exercise for me. 3. i had another reason, but that is plenty for now....

so here we go.... t minus eh like 2.5hrs and it's goodbye sugary yumminess.... withdrawal is already beginning....
