Dark chocolate doesn't give me that sweetness so I eat too much of it! <br /><br />Right now my work lunch is a little bread and cheese with a plain greek yogurt and some fruit preserves mixed in, plus fruit on the side. With a virtuous lunch, I find that a white chocolate truffle keeps me feeling luxurious rather than deprived.

I don't think the French do extremes with their diets very much. A little decadence every now and then is fine :) I believe that's also when it becomes a luxury, which is wonderful.<br /><br />I know when I try to tell myself I can't have something anymore, I will give in and then feel guilty about it. I'm not doing that to myself anymore, life is to be enjoyed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-46994045580358330112014-06-07T10:51:46.964+12:002014-06-07T10:51:46.964+12:00With you completely on the sugar thing, I find tha...With you completely on the sugar thing, I find that a teaspoon or two of coconut oil straight from the jar helps with any cravings, I think that the good fats are part of it as well.<br />Cindy FAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-58247464849272455612014-06-07T07:26:27.899+12:002014-06-07T07:26:27.899+12:00im working on a post about this subject fiona. th...im working on a post about this subject fiona. the idea of giving up life's pleasures seem to offend some people. they don't realize that there is often a reward much more lasting in value than a few bites (which are usually disappointing)of a sweet treat. like hostess my main weakness in life is potatoes. which i eat regularly - but the potato chip...mmmmm. xthe gardener's cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447809353998632722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-28211354060197564352014-06-07T06:26:48.816+12:002014-06-07T06:26:48.816+12:00alas, sugar is my downfall.

I do try not to bring sweet things home, but love to bake homemade pies, etc. I try to keep that to once in a while. Sugar does not make me feel good afterwards though so I just have to keep remembering. good for you for not doing a complete ban, though. I think it sets one up for failure. congratulations on your efforts, sounds like they are paying off!Deborah Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366855994841922862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-76786037137911667592014-06-07T03:03:41.741+12:002014-06-07T03:03:41.741+12:00Fortunately I do not crave sweets but I do like a ...Fortunately I do not crave sweets but I do like a wee bit of chocolate now and then. My sweets are things like cantaloupe, berries and watermelon. <br />Now if you were to have a no potatoes post I'd have to confess that I am in love! Any kind of potato and especially fries and chips!<br />The fit compliment is something to be proud of Fiona.

If it's not there, I can't eat it. I rarely eat dessert in a restaurant unless it is a special meal. During my time in France, I visit a special pâtisserie<br />usually once during my stay and make a beautiful purchase. This year it was an "Amaryllis" from Gérard Mulot. Right now, fresh strawberries are coming in season in Canada and they are a treat.Madame Là-bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703782237948233124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-73873069155543903312014-06-06T23:24:56.303+12:002014-06-06T23:24:56.303+12:00Hi Fiona,

I can have a nice dessert in the restaurant from time to time though, something really fancy. I also keep only dark chocolate at home but I noticed that I started eating less and less of it. The alternative is dry fruits (raisins, apricot, prunes). They are sweet but healthy since they contain fructose.<br />Regards, MariaMaria (viola33)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13259580691611945249noreply@blogger.com
