Hello Everyone!
I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right thread so if I'm not, moderators can you kindly put it in the right place? :)
So i'm totally EXCITED this morning. Last night was a really test for me and I think I passed it with flying colors! :D A customer of mine asked me to bake her some cookies. She knew I was a "baker" and asked me to make 3 types of cookies for her for her grandma's wake today. At first, I didn't want to say yes because 1) I had my H1N1 vaccine and wasn't feeling super well and 2) I was terrified that i'd fall off the wagon sampling those little cookies!
But of course, I couldn't say no! Anyway, last night I baked up 3 types of cookies. The first type are Hazelnut Melting Moments which chocolate centers, the second are a lemony pastry filled with Nutella and Walnuts and the third is a traditional italian Amaretti.
I'm thrilled to report that I ate 3 cookies total. 1 cookie from each batch genuinely to taste if they had turned out right. I had the points for it cause I rushed through dinner and ate very little so I could get a head start on the cookies!
I'm very proud of myself, prior to WW I just would have ate, ate, ate, ate them until I felt sick to my stomach! But, last night I knew I could have 3 and that was ALL I had!!
It feels really good to be in control! :)
Sorry if this post is a little long! Also, if you want to see what these little cookies look like I posted a pic in my blog!
Have a great day and thanks for reading!! :hug:
