Confessions of a food blogger…

Hi, my name's Jill (say it with me now..."HI JILL!"); and I'm a compulsive overeater, food addict and chronic dieter.

There, I said it.

This is something I haven’t said in a long time, but it’s time I said it again. I have issues with food. I’ve always had a sweet tooth! I LOVE all things baked, cookies, cupcakes, cheesecakes, pastries, DOUGHNUTS, you name it and I’m in love with it! The more, the better! I can’t stop at one cookie, I have to have a stack of them. I can’t take a sliver of cake, I want a big ‘ole slab and HEY, while we’re at it, throw a big ass scoop of ice cream on there too! I’m a go-big-or-go-home kind of gal and it shows in my eating/dieting habits!

On the other side of the coin, I’m a chronic dieter. I recall a former co-worker once asking me “what weird diet are you on this week” and that summed it up perfectly! I’ve been on them all! Weight Watchers, Lean for Life, Atkins, Detox, Slim Fast, Juice Fasting, even this bizarre plan where I was drinking hot lemon juice in the shower with flax seeds jumping up and down trying to get my “lymphatic system” in synch. I wish I was kidding about that last one…

Is there a point to all this? Yes, stay with me now;

I’ve got to lay off the baking…for a while. As a result, I’m breaking one of my bloggers resolutions to post more, but something’s got to give! I LOVE baking, but the temptation is too much for me when the stuff is around. I will still bake for special occasions and I promise I’ll blog about it when I do!

Don’t worry, I’ll be back!
