Enjoy, CICO!!! 

Where's this vegan bakery? It all looks so good ❤️ 

Jeanie -these came from Cake Girl in L.A. https://www.hellocakegirl.com/. 🙂 

Mmm...loved Cake Girl last time I was in LA. Thanks for sharing. My favorite is the "Hostess" cupcake 🧁 

Wow, whatta keeper of a man😏...it all looks fantabulous, atriel🤙 

Cool!😋👍 

That’s better than what I got for DH. 2 cans of Mary Kitchen Corned Beef Hash (hard to find here) & Lindor Sea Salt milk chocolate truffles. 

Awesome! 💕 

Thank you, John! 

Thanks everyone! This is absolutely extravagant and not really the way that I eat normally. I've done an admirable job of controlling myself and I've only had a doughnut and a cake ball. After 17 years together, I think I'm probably in it for the long haul. :) 

Beautiful cookies, I wouldn't be able to handle them right now. Enjoy, sounds like he's a keeper. 💖 

I will never even try to handle them again! But I can make a KETO facsimile to calm me down. !!!! so there is that. 

Jeannie - Cake Girl is AMAZING. I'm a huge fan. I don't really want to get into a whole "diet war" thing but I'd love to have a conversation about this. A couple of years ago, I wouldn't have been able to control myself. I probably would have eaten a lot of these pastries, felt bad about myself, bad about my weight, my self-control, etc and this would have sent me on a spiral of binge eating and "depression eating". The BIGGEST difference between the way that I'm eating now vs then, is that I've changed my relationship with food. I eat whatever I want, I just try to make healthy choices "most" of the time. More than any "eating change" or "diet plan" changing my relationship with food so that I wasn't thinking about it 80% of the day or obsessing about things that I would "after I hit my goal", I just changed some really deep and unhealthy issues with addiction that I was still struggling with and that I didn't realize would impact my overall weight.
