excuses, excuses....

One of my 2010 resolutions was to lose weight. I even found someone to hold me accountable. It's only been a week, but I'm off to a horrible start. I'd like to say it's my son's fault. He made peanut butter cookies last week...lots of them...and unfortunately I have very little will power. I don't know if this holds true for anyone else, but once I start on the sweets, it's like a runaway train. I have to have more. And if there's anything sweet in the house, I will find it and I will eat it. Chocolate chips have always been a quick standby for me. That's why I don't keep things like that in the house.

So last week, besides cookies, my son decides he wants to try to make his own deep fat fried snickers. So of course you need snickers to do this and they need to be frozen. We started out with 6 snickers in the freezer and are now down to 3. See, I'm telling you, it's not my fault, it's my son's! Of course today it is freezing rain outside so I can't go anywhere, and those snickers are still in my freezer......
On the bright side, my son will be moving into his own house in two weeks, so no more excuses. Maybe that's not such a good thing......I'll have no one else to blame.
