I am NOT a chocolate fan or a dessert person. Yes you read that correctly, I am NOT a chocolate person…and I was never into sweets… until recently. Okay, so I’m still not a chocolate fan, BUT, I somehow managed to grow a sweet tooth. You would rarely find me eating dessert. I mean I’d have a slice of cake for a special occasion, but that’s about it. I never had the desire to have dessert after dinner. I grew up a pie person. Actually, apple pie and vanilla ice cream. That was the extent of my dessert preference. I was never a cake person, never! In fact I would buy ice cream at the grocery store because it was on sale and it would sit in my freezer for months and I would end up throwing it out due to freezer burn. So, sweets were never my thing.
Oddly enough, last year, I drastically changed my diet, started to eat healthy, workout regularly and cut out all sugar (in the rare forms I had it in. Ie, energy bars, condiments, fruits, etc…) Well, in doing so, I must’ve triggered something that wants sugar now, in the rarest forms.. like ice cream, cookies, cakes, donuts and CUPCAKES. It’s the weirdest thing. I mean I can see if I used to like sweets and desserts, but I never really did. And, now that I eat healthy, my weakness is desserts. Isn’t that bizarre?
- Could it be the fact that my parents are sugar freaks and can eat desserts and pastries like it’s nobody’s business?Maybe it’s hereditary? If so, thanks mom and dad, appreciate it. (that is said as sarcastically as you can imagine!)
- Maybe I jolted the body into a sugar frenzy? It never had it and now it wants it!
- Maybe I’m getting old and craving sweets? Ai yai yai…
- Maybe someone slipped a sugar mickey in one of my bottle waters?
Whatever it is…… I so into desserts now, especially to cupcakes.Ugh…
I still eat healthy. No fried foods, whole wheat and good carbs, lots of veggies and of course lean sources of protein. But, this sugar thing is really start to get me. I have to have something sweet often now. Boy, I hope this is just a phase and I get rid of this because I may be in some serious trouble. Nevertheless, as of now cupcakes rule. But, they must be good cupcakes. I’m not talking about the ones you find in the grocery store either, it must be from a speciality cupcake bakery. Otherwise, don’t even waste my time.
Since I love cupcakes, I thought it was appropriate to post ones with hearts on it! LOL . Ahhh, and they are sooooo good. And yes, all 3 are for myself. Red velvet, coconut and vanilla. YUM!
