"Eat All The Sweets" - A 30 Day Tale of Love & Happiness

ILiftHeavyAcrylics

Day 1 - Chocolate fudge brownie - I did not see the thread in time and already ate it so now picture.  Fail on my part.
Day 2 - Half of a Reeces peanut butter cup cupcake with butter cream and chocolate frosting.  Only half because she ate the other half.  Also, a serving of Talenti - Sea Salt Caramel Gelato.
Day 3 - Talenti - Southern Butter Pecan Gelato

What's the southern butter pecan like? I've heard rave reviews but I want your opinion because we usually at least mostly agree.

This is a good challenge for people with self control.
As a sugar addict ( I can eat a whole bag of oreos in one day), I simply could not succeed in this challenge. Just writing this for anyone who is in my position and also considering this challenge. It CAN derail your plans. I hope to be at the point where I can practice moderation in a challenge such as this in the future, but not now. I'd undermine everything I've worked for in the past 3 months. I'm finally okay with not eating sweets every day.

With that frame of mind, you'll never be at that point.

So don't buy a 40ft shipping container of Oreos from Costco. Instead once a day buy a Little Debbie from the gas station... and over time you will learn that just a little bit goes a long way towards satisfaction.

Yeah, nah.

do you tell alcoholics to have 'just a little bit'?

Me, I haven't had any lollies for a week and I'm quite happy with that.

Please do not turn this thread into a debate about sugar, addiction or whatever. This is not the place for that.
If you haven't had lollies for a week and you are content with that, then good for you and obviously this thread/idea is not for you.

This.

This is a happy place. :flowerforyou:

As a non sugar addict I can eat a whole bag of oero's in a single sitting. What say you?

Day 1: Zuppa inglese
Day 2: Apple and cinnamon home-made mini cake
Day 3: Ciacco's gelato (custard and chocolate sorbet)

I know I haven't established the street cred for reliable reviews but I found it to be really buttery. I think it would be killer on French Toast. If you were into that sort of thing....

I'm still searching for a reasonable approximation of what I remember so fondly from my childhood - Butter Brickle Ice Cream. Anyone else remember this, and/or have any suggestions of currently available options? Google turned up a B&J limited edition something like Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road but I don't think its available now.

+1,000,000!!!!11

CallMeCupcakeDammit

Day 1: French toast topped with Jeni's honey + bananas ice cream
Day 2: Ben & Jerry's Milk & Cookies ice cream for breakfast. I'll also have a serving of Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl in my Greek yogurt tonight.
Day 3: Chocolate peanut butter Pop Tart with Edy's Slow Churned Peanut Butter Cup ice cream (see avatar), two Trader Joe's sea salt & turbinado sugar dark chocolate almonds (2 is just enough to satisfy), and a serving of TJ's Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl in my Greek yogurt tonight.
Day 4: Talenti Sicilian Pistachio gelato for breakfast. 2 TJ's sea salt & turbinado sugar dark chocolate almonds, and 4 pieces of Brookside dark chocolate covered goji berries tonight.

I bought Turkey Hill's Gertrude Hawk Box of Chocolates ice cream last night. I'm dying to dig in, but I should wait til I get through some of what I have first. I really wanted to try their Junior Mint ice cream, but when I saw "dairy dessert" on the container, I wasn't so sure anymore.

Missed posting yesterday, oops. So here it is.

Day 1: Yellow cake and Bryer's Reese's PB cups ice cream
Day 2: Hostess Powdered mini-donuts and more ice cream
Day 3: powdered mini-donuts again ... I was hoping there would be a good dessert and the church function I went to but there wasn't. The salads were absolutely spectacular, though.

I picked up a small box of Valentine's chocolates, planning to eat that today and hoping it's from this year and not last :laugh: :noway:
