Kats, I share your struggle quite deeply. My profession? Chocolatier. Yep. All day, every day...chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. That is, until my house and shop burned down in Feb. We are starting over with a rebuild, but by the time its completed, I want to have broken the sugar addiction. It can be so hard sometimes, having all that knowledge stored up in the ole noggin, and we must refrain from putting it into action for our own consumption and demise. I've had to re-program my ways a bit, and start working more with salads, meats, and stews. I used to do a great deal of baking and whatnot for others, and always ended up eating it too. Grrrrr. I am devoid of will power at times. Admitting that is half the battle; Overcoming it is the other half. =) I love your post, and will refer back to it in my weak moments! thanks for posting and best wishes!!! Annie
