The Valentine's Candy - My Temptation
Monday, January 18, 2010 at 08:56AM So, the new year brings new resolutions. Most people say they'll diet, cut back on a bad habit like smoking or drinking, they'll get to the gym, that kind of thing. My resolution was that I was going to cut out as many sweets, work out a little more, and actually try to keep my house clean. I won't say that I will work out 3 or 5 times a week, because I'll never stick to it. I'm just going to do the best that I can.
While walking through our local dollar store, we walked to the Valentine's Day section. Why, I do not know, but it was a mistake. Why? Because of these little candies. Conversation hearts have been my downfall of diabetic control since I first ate them when I was little. For about a month that these things are available, I will eat them every day. Bad, bad, bad! I know! But they are just soooo good!
I read the label last night (yeah, I know, kinda late to be reading it NOW, right?), and they equal about 1g of carb for each one of these little suckers! So, I am going to try to have enough self-control to only eat 10-15 at the time and then cut myself off.
Will I stick to it? I don't know. But I am hoping that now since I am freakishly obsessive over my glucose levels that it will be enough to keep me from going overboard with them. :-)

So funny about the hearts. I think I will start another obsession . If I put 5ish candies in a bag I can eat them for only 5ish carbs. It's the ish that I'm worried about.
