Today I was craving for something sweet. I was at a cafe for hours & I happen to be sitting right next to the dessert case. Lucky me. (-not.) I was tempted. I started to make deals with myself, "what if I take two bites & throw the rest away?" But them I got real with myself. I knew these desserts were not tempting. I knew they were all sugar-flour-butter, nothing more. I knew they were junk & would make me feel like junk. I knew I was craving carbs because I didn't eat enough of them this morning. The small amount of grapes & single mango were not enough. I usually have much more fruit that that for breakfast. I decided to leave my book on my chair at the coffee shop & look for something good to eat elsewhere that was sweet. I found a beautiful tiny basket of organic blackberries & a little bag of organic medjool dates at a food-coop. -Lucky me! I ate them and they filled the spot. I felt so good. After that I went back to the coffee shop and ordered a mint ice tea. I felt really proud of myself. I would not have been happy if I ate one of the desserts, but I was really happy with sweet luscious rich fruits. Better than any man-made dessert.
