Everyone needs some SWEETS in their life!

One of my BIGGEST weaknesses on this journey is sweets. Not for a single second do I want to portray perfection over here, but I will constantly pick myself back up and recommit after falling flat on my face.

I try and always have a healthy version of something prepared in the house incase an urge hits! I do my best to keep myself busy and one thing that has helped me significantly to overcome binge/emotional/closet eating is allowing myself a free meal of whatever I want a week. Without it I don't think I would be where I am today!

This weeks treat was Advocado Brownies. As disgusting as I thought they would be I have to shout out one of the gals in my accountability group and now friend, Carey for sharing this with me.....they were freaking DYNAMITE and even better FROZEN!!!

I didn't have any Maple Syrup so I did use Honey as a sub. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!!
