The number one question that I get asked when people meet me, knowing I have a baking blog, is- “How are you not fat?” Seriously- I get asked that weekly if not more often. I know it makes little sense- I’m baking, posting (and eating,) lots of treats per week and while I’ve definitely put on 5 lbs. since The Baker Chick was born, it hasn’t gotten out of hand. I exercise occasionally, (much to the dismay of my husband who is a personal trainer,) but what I really practice every single day is the art of moderation. For me if I eat a healthy diet I can still manage desserts several times a week as long as I don’t go overboard. I like a small slice of cake, or one brownie or cookie and then I typically give the rest away. It’s a system that works for me and I plan on sticking to it- as I never see giving up sweets in my future!
