Confessions of a foodaholic

For most of my adult life I have had an issue with my weight. I've tried the low carb diet...lasted about a day, and the traditional low cal diet several times. I've had bouts of dedicated exercise routines and months of inactivity. My YMCA membership is better described as a monthly donation. Through trial and error, I've found that the best program for me is Weight Watchers. It takes calories, fat, fiber, and exercise into account so that the nutrition program is tailored to you. I've been doing it for the past few months and have had only moderate success mostly because I haven't been as faithful to the program as I should have. However, I recently decided to stick to the plan. I've done pretty good...ok it's only been 3 days but still. One night I even made a low cal. version of cheeseburgers and fries, sooo good and guilt-free. As I patted myself on the back, I thought, "I can do this," with a smile on my face. And then came today. Yes, it is only the 4th day but I cracked! " What caused this ?" you may ask. It was THIS...

Paula Dean's simply delicious strawberry cake. And simply delicious it is. Now, It's all I can think about...the soft moist cake with a burst of strawberry goodness...the scrumptious creamy smooth sweetness of the cream cheese frosting. It's like I'm an addict. Cake is my drug of choice. Strawberry cake for me is the hardest drug of them all. I've come to the realization that I do need help. I can't do this alone. Detox will be painful but it's a hardship I have to go through. My name is Tomicka and I'm addicted to cake.
