If I have to watch one more commercial about chocolate bunnies and Easter baskets I am going to scream. I don’t recall last Easter being quite so commercial regarding the promoting of candy, candy and still more candy.

Sure there was the usual assortment of sugar coated carbage in the stores, but at least a person wasn’t inundated with commercials every five minutes about how much more Easter candy you could buy at a certain big box store.

I used to use the holidays as an excuse to eat. This year I have decided to make the holiday more about Jesus Christ and less about those Cadbury crème eggs.

Follow up:

This weekend don’t let well meaning friends and family members sabotage your efforts to stick to your way of eating. Avoid the chocolate cake, ice cream or whatever sweet treats may tempt you.

Trust me, the next day you are not going to say to yourself, ‘I really regret not eating that entire 3 pound chocolate bunny.’ Instead, you will be happy that you did not succumb to temptation.

Have a wonderful Easter Weekend!
