In more 6 more days, I will have gone exactly 3 months without eating dessert.
That means: No cookies. No icecream. No popsicles. No candy bars. No brownies. No m&ms. Not even wedding cake, and I've been to 3 weddings!
Instead, I have been chowing down on: watermelon, apples, pineapple, cantaloupe, watermelon, frozen blueberries, bananas, watermelon, frozen bananas, grapes, peaches, watermelon, plums, nectarines, yogurt, and... did I mention watermelon?
And what have I learned? For me, dessert was just a habit. I don't need it. In fact, I much prefer some fresh fruit. (Like watermelon!)
But I have to admit... I'm suddenly getting tempted to eat some of Phil's blue bell icecream...
By the way, I don't think I look any different than I did 3 months ago. Except that I'm working out less - I can tell something there. Anyway, the "no dessert" thing has not actually changed my body one bit.
I mentioned to Phil that maybe next I will try giving up bread for a month. He responded that perhaps I need to find some goals that actually mean something. I think he's probably right.

Well, at least, the main thing is that you still have your friends, Wiley and Pa---oh...wait, nevermind. Sorry....
Phil might be right, but it's interesting to challenge yourself like that. I gave up french fries and potato chips one year for Lent. Of course, that's a ridiculous thing to give up for something like Lent, but it was really quite easy.
Ah yes, Lent. Reason number 3 why I am no longer a practicing catholic. Of course, the more important considerations are the fact that catholic school girls don't actually behave like they're starring in porn, and that nuns never committed carnal sins with me. Bitches.
Oh yeah Erin..... it is so great that you can count on your friends when you can't have sweets. You know some people don't have that in their lives. And you should feel blessed. Each friend is like a hot fudge Sundae. So you have been having sweets for three months.
The sweet, sweet dessert of friendship.
If you look the same, but you've been working out less, doesn't that count as a change in your body?!
Down with watermelon!
Is this where I make the obligatory watermelon comment? ;)
