ME vs. The Cookie

I love anything sweet, sugary, chocolatey, buttery, or warm and gooey. Take a homemade chocolate chip cookie for example. My arch nemesis. Mr. Chocolate Chip Cookie has the whole package. He has all things I love. And I wouldn't even hesitate about shoving one, two, three maybe even four of those dang cookies in my mouth, until now. Now is the time... I must say goodbye.

There's only enough room in this town for one of us, Mr. Cookie...

And Mr. Cookie, well you're gonna have to skip town...

rule #1:

no more desserts.

{a tear dropped on my keyboard as i typed that}

but seriously. no more...

i am, however, allowing myself one bite of something lovely if it is a special occasion,

or if i manage to find a concoction that is sugar free... i'll allow it.

but the old gooey, sticky, sweet deliciousness that is my weakness?

gone.

{Mr. Cookie, you will be missed.}
