I Saw You
When Cher turned 6 weeks old last Wednesday, I decided it was time to get serious about losing the baby weight. My husband has a bag of mini candy bars on his dresser that I've been living off of for the past two months but for 8 days now, I've been clean.
It hasn't been easy. I wasn't quite sure how to express my attachment to these sweet treats but luckily, I found a medium to create my ode. Here's my video:
No, I didn't make the entire video myself. You just have to upload your photos into a template at Greetingflix.com (my fun internet find of the week) and they do the rest. Their website doesn't have many templates and the ones they do have are really cheesy, but it's fun, free and very easy to find ways to make fun of their sappiness. A word to the wise: don't bother upgrading to the Pro account - the website appears to be just getting started and there aren't many templates yet. It's a great idea though.
But I do miss my sweets. Last night I bought 60 dollars worth of Sugar-free Chocolate Calcium Chews at Costco to replace them but it's not the same. I think I would rather die of osteoporosis at age 50 with a mouth full of chocolate than be unbreakable and crabby at 100. But I will be strong...

As a diabetic, I feel your pain.
Awesome video.
Video--crying! It moved me.
Word of caution about sugar free candy--I am trying to kick my Hershey's Kiss habit--a co-oworker keeps a full bowl of them on her desk. You would think that would be enough to curb my consumption. Nope, the only thing it does is keep me from eating 20 kisses instead of my regular 6. And I give her refills.
I bought some Baskin Robins Mint Chocolate Chip sugar free hard candies to try to reduce the fat and calories of my addiction. DO NOT EAT TO MANY!! Let's just say there is a warning on the bag of what it could do to your digestion. They mean it.
I have been looking for some sugar free chocolate gum and found this on the web:

Searching for a supplier. Might have to order online.
