Walk away from the cupcakes! lol lol lol.. If you do decide to have 1 - limit yourself to the one and walk away! Be strong and just stay away from them! ;) I know it's hard.. I struggle with cooking for the family and not being able to eat or taste.. I have learned how to ignore the temptation.. (Well I did cheat for Thanksgiving)... Try your hardest not to give in and if you do... Don't beat yourself up over it
P.S. Maybe you can look at the cupcake and view it as a corset - DON'T EAT IT! ;)
