Hard times await

Every Christmas means constant eating. I've decided to give up sweets ...again. From January 1, 2024, I can only eat sweets on Saturdays. All other days are off-limit.

As I neither smoke nor drink, with the exception of the occasional glass of champagne, I have always allowed myself to eat sweets. Unfortunately, this time of year my sugar intake is off the charts.

To cope with this, I have to give up sweets for the whole of January to get rid of the sugar cravings. January is going to be one hell of a month.
