Day 29: Sweets!

Ah, so wonderful!

This is a day to be grateful for sweet things. Some people aren't that crazy about sweets. I really don't understand them.

Ideally on this day you will find something very special to enjoy. It doesn't have to be big (in fact, maybe it would be better if it was small), but it would be nice if it can be something fancy.

After you fully and properly enjoy this experience, it may be useful to think about how and when you'd prefer to eat sweets. In my experience, I sometimes need to take very long breaks from sweets to break my addiction to them. The good news is that each time I do that, I feel less and less attached to the fact that I MUST eat them all the time.

I still love them, and I fully and loudly proclaim that fact (no shame!). On the other hand, I can learn to live without them, and better gauge the times when they'll give me the pleasure I'm hoping for and when they won't. The practice of gratitude helped me immensely with this.
