I like baking, but I LOVE eating sweets. Baking for me is all about the results. But I'm determined to lose weight during this global mess, so no baking for me. My wife makes breads, muffins, scones, and other bready baked goods, but my speciality of cookies, squares, brownies, macaroons, etc, are bad for my waistline. I have to be content with cooking a healthy supper for a family of five every day.

But at least I'm down 15 pounds. I'll shut up now, because I know how tedious dieters can be. We're a bit like vegans in that respect.
