The No- Calorie “Cake”

Yesterday afternoon I was working on Pesach-cleaning* the storage-porch off the side of the boy’s room. Suddenly I had a BIG urge for a piece of cake.
Now, that caused me to pause. I usually have no trouble staying away from cake during the week, although sometimes I (over)-indulge on cake on Friday night or shabbas. I suddenly questioned myself: Why was I getting this craving?
I quickly realized, that I was not really hungry, but wanted a “break” from the cleaning work, and sitting down with some cake was an easy way to accomplish this. So I sat down with a glass of tea instead! And then I realized that I was REALLY tired. So I went and took an hours nap, and awoke craving-free. My nap was a “calorie-free cake”……

That was truly brilliant since you figured it out before you ate the cake and while you were exhausted, WTG!!

Wow, that's great. You always read these kinds of suggestions in magazines but it's so hard to actually follow thru with it. For me, each day is a new challenge and a hurdle to overcome. Keep up the good work!
PS-You're making me feel pressured with all your talk of Pesach cleaning!:) :)

Remember that I have NO ONE who will help me with cleaning, so I need a head start....
