MMMM Cakes, Cookies, Candy

Ha ha made you look. I actually am not a fan of these things so walking away from them is easy. I do watch other people eat them like its awesome to have the biggest slice or a pack of cookies! Don't get me wrong,  I eat cookies and ill eat cake ...and a rare tasty cake - I just have no desire to go overboard! Take Oreos - I trained myself in college to eat only the recommended 3! 

Reading the fat deterred me otherwise and I learned to enjoy the taste...plus I was a poor college student, I had to skimp. I'm a firm believer in moderation. Sure, I have my downfall foods... But the key is not everything I eat is my downfall .

So my simple mom trick - read the packages - read the fat - and read the serving size - then try it. I can go through a party size bag of m&ms myself - I eat a handful a night as a 'kudos to you awesome mom you made it through another day'. If hubby dives into the bag he doesn't know moderation and my bag goes bye bye! Baby steps ladies - pick a food you like (not love) and eat in moderation.
