Just over a week into the New Year. How’s those resolutions working out for ya?

If you’re like me, you’re trying to clean up your filthy act this year. Maybe drop a few pounds, reduce some of the jiggle in your junk trunk. Personally my sweet tooth is a tough cookie (get it? cookie? sweet tooth?) to deal with. I’m generally good with eating healthy, but every once in a while I get the hankering for something sweet. Next thing I know, there’s colorful wrappers everywhere and I’m in sugar-shock wondering what the Hell just happened. Like I’d just been assaulted by Willy Wonka or something.

This is a trap many of us fall into, especially when we’re logged into WoW or any other game of choice. You’re sitting there, either cruising along a flight path or waiting for your Heroic queue to pop. Boredom takes over, and you just feel like grazing a little. That’s when the sugar fairy comes around and reminds your mouth that you still might have some of those Christmas chocolates that Aunt Gertie gave you.

Fitness model and all-around helpful gal Lunden Souza created a video blog entry entitled “How to Fight Against Sugar Cravings”, which is a huge boon for sugar fiends like me who are looking to curb the siren’s song from our sweet nemesis. So put down the bonbon and check out the video. DROP IT I SAID! THIS IS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!

Eliminating temptation is a good idea. But make sure, if you throw it out, you get it right out of your house. Don’t just toss it in the trash under your sink and leave it there because, well, it’s still in the house. And sometimes the sugar fairy is a mean bitch who doesn’t give a damn about things like personal pride.

I’m not saying that you’ll fish junk food out of your trash like a junkie, but I’m saying some people might. Trust me, it won’t be your shining moment. Certainly wasn’t for me.
