every year around this time i come to grips with the fact that i have once again managed to create a fifth food group, consisting primarily of sugar, corn syrup, brownies, cupcakes, cookies....and chocolate. and every year around this time i come to grips with the fact that my newly created food groups have newly created about ten pounds on my body.this year, one of my words-to-live-by is balance. and to live a balanced life, i really should have a balanced diet. in the past, i've made the mistake of trying to completely remove my beloved fifth food group from my life...and i must admit, i've failed. so this year instead of focusing on what i "can eat" and "can't eat", i'm going to just try to eat healthy....and find that perfect ratio between carrots and chocolate!
