How To Deal With Easter

  • I've got to admit. I'm looking forward to Easter. The thing is-- I WANT to eat jelly beans. Not sure how I'm going to resist that stuff.

    How are you all going to deal with it?
  • This is my plan. It may not be the wisest but it's a start

    Every year Mr. Cottontail leaves a basket for DH and I as well as the girls. Now it would seem funny to have my half of the basket empty just because I am on a new WOE. So I have decided to fill my side up with ZCarb bars and any other little goodies I can find. I am not a big fan of jelly beans so that wont phase me in the least. But when surrounded with 5 baskets of chocolate.. I BEST have something I can eat around.
    As for Easter dinner, we go over to my mothers house. She is also on Atkins so we are putting together a game plan. Ham and Turkey, Cauliflower, whatnot.. as well as the mashed taters and goodies for the gang. We found a recipe for a low carb cake and one for pie crust (thinking of making a pumpkin pie) so we will even treat ourselves to a dessert.
    Whats going to be my most difficult moment? When someone says.. Pass the crossiants!!!! I am determined to stay OP over Easter!
