The Power to Resist Evil...

So for the past few weeks I have been trying REALLY hard to lose weight since I had Lauryn. I only have about 300 more lbs to go...I HATE dieting so bad. But then... Who doesn't?

Preston has been begging me for a while to let him help me make cookies. I have been avoiding it out of fear because I know how much self control I have when it comes to smelling delicious homemade sugar cookies baking in the oven. But today I realized that we are in charge of bringing the treat for Preston's soccer game tonight AND... Preston didn't get to go to preschool today because his teacher was sick. So I broke down since I felt bad for him and told him we could make some cookies together for his soccer team.

Lime green frosting to match his team's jerseys (go green dragons!)

But I am proud to declare... that 36 delicious-mouthwatering-sugar-cookies-dripping-with-butter-cream-frosting later.... I did not eat one! Not one smack on my lips! I didn't so much as lick my fingers after frosting every last one of them... I DIDN'T EVEN TASTE THE DOUGH!!!

There is a sign in my kitchen that says:

"There is a skinny girl who lives inside of me that's trying to get out, but I can usually shut her up with cookies."

Well today my friends... I was able to resist the power of the cookie and for some reason I felt it was worth blogging about...

Losing baby weight sucks! Good thing the babies that come with the weight are SO stikin' cute!

That's a MIRACLE. Those cookies look perfect and you refrained. I don't know how you did it. I love that quote in your kitchen. I need that.
