I Can't Even

I love my family, really I do. But sometimes -- like when they share a hot fudge sundae with whipped cream and cherries on top, which these days (and pretty much for the rest of forever) I cannot touch -- they can be sadists.

Here's what my evil spawn was saying when I took the pic: "You sure you don't want a little bite, Mom?"

The trick is to have a substitute. I can't have maraschino cherries (too much sugar) but I can make my vegan nice cream any time, of course, and my own sugarfree chocolate syrup to drizzle on top. So while I may suffer a little when they get their goodies, I make a point to whip up a treat later that's safe for me. Result: I have to wait a bit, but I don't cheat.

I can't do the lactose. I miss a chocolate shake. I REALLY miss a chocolate shake, and making it at home just isn't the same.

Over the past couple of years, I've actually cut down my sugar intake so hubby wouldn't feel isolated. He finally noticed and now insists that I enjoy myself. If I have a little bowl of sherbet, he eats sugar free Jello. It's not the same but he's made peace with himself.
