I...I've found I'm an all or nothing person. I have better luck cutting deserts completely out than allowing 1-2 a week. I've found over time, without deserts, I don't really crave them, and rarely find them appealing when they are set out, although I'm still a sucker for a warm chocolate chip cookie.

I love the idea of giving most of your treat to someone else (i have been known to eat half a pan of brownies by myself, so giving the rest away sounds like a great plan!). Good luck! I hope this ends up being a great plan for your family!

Our current plan is to have one day a week (Monday, for FHE) that we make a dessert, eat one serving each, and give the rest to neighbors/older people in our ward who would be glad to be visited. That way when we are faced with sugary things on other days it's (hopefully) an easy no. "Is it Monday? No. Then I won't eat it." Along with only a treat on Monday we are cutting out soda, juice, and sugary yogurts and cereals, other than holidays, which we rarely buy anyway. We are still trying to figure out what to do about things like ketchup, syrup, etc. Our idea is to limit it to a Tbsp per meal that it goes with, but we may have to adjust that if it ends up being too often. Thank you for sharing your journey! Helena Olmsteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663930072828759269noreply@blogger.com
