I may need to quit baking [View all]

My guy has a number of health issues (including Type 2 diabetes) which are amplified by his being about 50 lbs. overweight. Yesterday, a chest x-ray and EKG indicated that his heart could be something that we now have to worry about.

(Don't get me wrong, I could stand to lose a few lbs. too)

In a 4 day period, he consumed 8 brownies, 7/8th of a pie, and half a box of Girl Scout cookies... and I saw him eating some ice cream too.

Since Mom passed away, I've been teaching myself to bake as a way to commune w/ her.

I can't lose Al... I just can't. I need to keep the sweets out of the house.
