Today I went to the mall with my two grandchildren, ages 3 and 17 months, and my daughter….their mother. We shopped a little, then stopped at a playground in the mall to let the kids play. Aftewards, we passed a cookie shop that sell these wonderful, thick, chocolate brownies with the yummiest thick chocolate icing that you have ever seen!
I have been doing so good through the holidays but all of the sudden, I HAD to have one of those brownies. I have turned down everything you can imagine during the holidays……pies,cakes, fudge (my favorite),cookies, EVERYTHING! For some reason, I just had to have a brownie! So, I bought each of us a brownie, and guess what? It was wonderful! I ate it and I loved it!! Later? Well, my BG spiked to 185 and I felt awful. I wanted to sleep the rest of the afternoon and I did take a long nap. It’s later in the evening now and my BG has dropped back down to normal. Was it worth it? I have to say YES it was. I know this isn’t good for me, and I don’t plan to do this again, and I’m sure not going to make a habit of it, but I think ever now and then it doesn’t hurt to have a little splurge. What do you guy think?
