Guest guest Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Very good thought, Elektra...very logical. You know, I never was much of a sweets lover...I never ate dessert anyway because I'd rather fill up on the main course! However,,,,I do LOVE chocolate, and my hubby was real bad (a misnomer) about ordering a box of See's truffles and both of us would have one after dinner every night until they were gone!! I DO miss the See's very much!! And ice cream used to be a favorite of mine...but honestly, if I ate sweets all the time I'd be bigger than I want to be. I had a 2-year period in my life (early 20s) when I was 45 lbs. overweight (I ate sweets constantly then) and, once I lost that, I completely changed my relationship with food, especially sweets, and I've never gained it back. In fact, since I declared my commitment to my K awakening April 4th, I've lost 12 lbs! That's just from eliminating processed sugar, caffeine, alcohol, and diet drinks, I guess! In the dream, I resisted the sweets for a while, then I lost it and was running around trying to eat them...funny thing is that although I grabbed at a bunch of sweets, all I actually ate was 2 thimbles of ice cream!!!! LOL!! Perhaps that means that even though I might be tempted, my resolve and my commitment to the K are so strong that I will not succumb (I mean, what's 2 thimbles of ice cream anyway?!). I like to think so. Thank you for your astute comment on my dream, dear Elektra!
