Hi Miranda. Desserts and other candies that float around during the holidays are the hardest for me to resist!

Speaking of limiting portions, I do like that many restaurants have started offering tiny desserts (in shot glasses or whatever they are) for around $2. PF Chang’s is one example. And a lot of Italian restaurants do this too.

I have the hardest time with the healthy eating habits. Too many delicious things to eat. But I do try to limit portions instead of limiting WHAT I eat.
