Comments on: Just A Smidgin Of Disobedience… http://allm92.wordpress.com/2008/01/08/just-a-smidgin/ If we allow for people to interrupt, we allow it to cost (not just my money, it may be of our time), it will change lives Fri, 11 Dec 2009 14:42:21 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: amyletinsky http://allm92.wordpress.com/2008/01/08/just-a-smidgin/#comment-925 amyletinsky Fri, 11 Jan 2008 08:16:03 +0000 http://allm92.wordpress.com/2008/01/08/just-a-smidgin/#comment-925 Heidi, thanks for being so honest about your struggles with temptation! My best friend and I like to joke that if you eat it standing up, especially with the fridge door open, the calories don't count! It's amazing the lies we tell ourselves to justify our indulgences! Self control sucks. But, it's one of those things we all face in this process called sanctification. Why couldn't I have a hard time with the temptation of broccoli or carrots or something a little less unhealthy than chocolate? Why oh why??

I also am glad I read your post above... it really got me thinking about my faith. THANK YOU! I'll be baccck! With love, Jenelle Hello Heidi!!

Keep in mind that all things in moderation only make us stronger against it the next, as opposed to depriving and depriving and then finally giving in and eating more than half the cake, or the sin, considering the analogy. I personally enjoy Splenda to sugar, but there are other alternatives. Life is too short to constantly worry about what we cannot have, especially as we get older. I personally want you to be around in my life for a lonnng time, so heed the advice mamasita and check out the "other" white sugars!! Love you!!

(somehow that messes up the sin analogy though...) have you tried the reduced sugar cake mixes that are common to find now to see if they wouldn’t bother it as much?
