Saying No to Kisses

Tags

no-kissesOne day I was in the grocery store and I was craving something sweet.  Mmmm… cookies… chocolate… something with sugar.  You see I have given up sweets, candy, and any foods that have more than 10g of sugar in the daily serving.  This was about week two or three.  I’ve done fairly well, but this particular day was a difficult one.
