One of those things we were particularly curious about was how much we were spending on candy/sweets/desserts/etc.
Two days ago I went through every receipt and totaled up the dollar amount in this area.
It was STAGGERING! SHOCKING! UNBELIEVABLE!
I am thoroughly disgusted. THOROUGHLY!
I wont tell you how much it was in $'s (I'm too embarrassed)....just that it was 1/4 of our ENTIRE food budget.
RIDICULOUS!
Even more sad....I consume at least 90% of it.
It's no wonder I'm not loosing more weight.
BLEGH!
This month we are going to try and cut our sweet/treats/dessert budget down by 2/3 (or should I say, we are actually going to set a budget). When it's gone, it's gone. I'm interested in seeing how it will turn out.
Maybe now I will be able to finally loose those last few pounds. He He He!

I feel the same way! I recently started realizing just how much I spend on shakes and ice cream (my biggest weakness) and it was disgusting. I tell myself no to buying a $10 shirt, but then I spend 3 times that amount in ice cream. Seriously! ha ha.
Good luck in your goal. Can't wait to hear how it goes!
Jayson loves your current blog song.
Anyway. That is disgusting. Mine is probably way more than you ;) Although I buy bulk puddings and large bags of chocolate chips and 20lb bags of sugar. And the occasional very expensive morsel of chocolate. Oh you're right, I buy way too much of it. Thanks for the reminder.
Hmm. Maybe I should do that! I have 10 more lbs I'm trying to lose and it won't go away!! I love sweets way to much too!
Wow, that is amazing! You have me really curious/ really scared to try out the same thing.
Good for you for doing it.
