NSV - Vive La Brownie Resistance!

  • In my humble opinion, no more perfect dessert exists than the hot fudge brownie sundae. All at once, it's rich, thick, sweet, sticky, creamy, hot and cold - a chocolate-lover's fantasy!

    So when my husband bought and prepared brownie mix with ice cream and hot fudge, I cursed his very existence! As the brownies cooled on the counter, the fudgey aroma tickled me in places DH has forgotten exist! And with that, I proudly announce that while he savored his brownie sundae, I sat down with a plate of fresh pear and strawberries. Not only was I not coveting his dessert, I haven't so much as considered picking at the leftovers (which are sitting sadly in a ziploc bag in the pantry).

    Other than fruit, I haven't indulged in dessert the entire year. In fact, I haven't so much as thought about those brownies - except to make my NSV post!
  • You are doing fantastic! Your head is sane and focused. Hurray for you!
  • Hungry Monkey that is wonderful! Brownie sundaes are one of my faves so I understand what a HUGE NSV you just had. Congrats to you. I hope your healthy habits keep going.
  • That is HUGE, Hungry Monkey!! Congratulations!!
  • Wow, I am really impressed. Good for you!
  • great job!! hungry monkey!! you are awesome!!! keep up the great work!!
  • Thank you all for the ing! Resistance has become so much easier having sworn off sugar. I know this doesn't work for some, but it's really changed my life. I used to feel dread as the weekends loomed ahead, wondering what I would eat and whether my clothes would fit on Monday. Now I look forward to the weekends (only 2 more days - yay!)

    Thanks again, everyone - hope you are all faring just as well!
