goodbye, sweet things.

in a small fit of disgust with ourselves (i made pumpkin cream cheese danishes yesterday AND caramel apples and we both indulged...in both), landon and i swore off sweets until thanksgiving.

WHAT?

what have i done? my former roommates will probably remind me that i've made multiple proclamations that i would never, under any circumstances, give up sweets. i guess i'm a changed woman.

so how am i coping? let's just say that i've been wearing my retainer ALL DAY.

i know it won't be as hard for landon as it will be for me, so i told him to hold me accountable but to not be mean. he said, "oh, i won't be mean but i'll be a drill sergeant." 
wish me luck!

xoxo.

aren't you glad you kept that retainer. it serves more than just one use, keeping your teeth straight, but can also help you avoid those sweet indulgences.

Good luck! At least it's only till Thanksgiving, halloween candy isn't any good anyway!

Hmm... I'm not sure it's in our family's blood to be capable of omitting sweets from our diet. I'm skeptical. ;) Although, perhaps with Landon's help, anything is possible! I wish you success!

Ps. There's a chance I'll be in Portland this weekend & attending the Little Winter Market. I think you most definitely should be going to this, too.
