Jenn, what a poignant post. No matter how well-adjusted we are, how self-confident, or how loved, we still have days when we are just sad.

I just love the way you wrote about this, and how you worked through it. And yikes. I made the mistake of clicking on the cupcake place. What an amazing list of cupcake flavors! Hope your day was so fun. I noticed they are in Solvang. One of my favorite childhood places to visit.

Great job!!! I love the photos, too. Sugar is such a drug to our brain…I’ve gotten it almost completely out of my life, except for a dessert treat with a free meal. I’ve been a sugar addict almost my whole life. My dad raised us from second grade on so we had know idea what balanced nutrition was (or vegetables)…not until I was in my early 20’s. Drinking Dr. Pepper through a red licorice straw was a regular event. Sugar kept me alive when my dad was out of work…and potatoes. 😉 lol I am so much better off without it now…I even learned to drink my coffee black in 2007…that was a miracle. Mmmm. Speaking of coffee…

Thanks Jenn, have a beautiful day!!! Thanks for sharing your life with us!

So glad to find your blog as well! I do have a nice relationship with sugar. I moderate a lot, but do enjoy the occasional Dove chocolate or homemade brownie.

I am such the candy lover! I can easily pass on baked goods but Swedish Fish and Haribo gummies are hard to pass up! Congrats to you, I don’t know if I could’ve left that store with just a soda!

Good for you resisting the sugar when you know that it doesn’t work for you. And you do look absolutely femmie and breezy and sweet in your sun dress- love it.

Funny you should bring up sweets b/c I have never thought that I was ‘addicted’ and always was able to have just a few bites here or there and be OK with that. For the last 3 or 4 weeks my cravings have been way low for sugar. I seriously credit acupuncture and i’m really a western-not alternative- health type of gal. I just have no other explanation for it.

Can’t wait to hear about your day trip to the cupcake store with your bloggie friends!
