Have you visited a Farmer’s Market lately? 
I’m not sure which I love more – the brilliant array of colors among the fresh produce, or the tempting selection from which to choose?
I often come home with more food than I know what to do with, even when I set off with something specific in mind. The thing is, everything looks so good that I fall prey to ‘Bright, Shiny Object’ syndrome.
Perhaps you’ve heard of this affliction.
It’s when you suddenly lose sight of the project at hand, your goals, or – in this case – your shopping list, and are suddenly captured by a thought or object that seems infinitely better.
That’s the Bright, Shiny Object calling to you.
This is why I might return from the Farmer’s Market with more food than I, or my family, can eat.
It is also why some of us might be tempted from time to time, to stray from our special diets. Cause let’s face it – temptation is everywhere!
I’m one of the fortunate few who can walk by a bakery without so much as a glance at the delicious array of goodies lining the cases. That said, I understand that for most of us, this can feel like pure torture.
Bright Shiny Objects everywhere – most of them laden with chocolate and gooey frosting.
How do you deal with these temptations?
