Want Some Sugar...Sugar!?

Today is day... 11!!! of no sugar. Whew, and what a struggle it has been! I've noticed that I tend to crave my treats in the evening. I'm not sure if it's related to boredom or habit but it is quite the struggle. When I wake up in the morning I feel refreshed though, and that is what makes this worth it for me.

Now I'm coming up on a dilemma. Josh and our family are driving the four hours to visit my family. It's tax season you see... and who else to get help from then from your parents! My dad is an accountant for the government so he helps us file every year. The dilemma I'm coming across is that my mom is an AMAZING German cook! My mouth is watering right now just imagining some of her didily-scrumptious meals right now. German pancakes- warm my soul. Apfle Kuchen- break my heart. Deutsch pastries- shatter my entire being. THIS IS GOING TO BE A STRUGGLE.

So, I need some advice. I called Rachel and talked it over with her a little bit. She's the one who has been holding me accountable for my end of the contract and I felt I at least owed her a phone call. If my mom makes me a treat, or makes my most favorite meal in the World I can't be expected to turn it down, right?

Well... the truth is I called my mom and told her about my "deal" and she understands. Rachel also said that the point of the contract was to help me get my crazy addiction under control... which I admit has worked for now. It's a struggle that I will fight my entire life and as long as I know I can control it then I'm in-charge. She said that it's okay if I have a treat- as in ONE treat this weekend and I'll be fine. The reward for waiting 14 days with out sugar would be decadent cream puffs at the Asian market. If I have something this weekend, then I have to wait another week before I get my uber yummy cream puffs. And then I'm allowed one treat every week.

What do you think? Should I hold out until Tuesday and have the cream puffs... or enjoy this weekend and worry about it in another week?

Who would have ever thought I'd be having an inner battle over german pancakes? Huh.
