Resolve, v. To decide firmly on a course of action

I have the sweet tooth from Hell. I love sweets and can eat them all day long. Occasionally I do. Unfortunately, I can't live that way forever without major health repercussions. So for one of my semester resolutions (It feels like a new year every 3 months anyway with my schedule, so might as well), I'm severely cutting down on the sweets. At first I was going to go cold turkey with no sweets, but that does not work in the BYU-Idaho bubble, where love is expressed with baked goods. So I won't buy or bake them. I had a cookie last night at my friend's scrub ceremony, but other than that, I've been good. No massive withdrawals or uncontrollable cravings. Just controllable cravings that were satisfied with fruit or pomegranate tea with honey in it. The hope is that I'll have more spending money and a reduced chance of getting diabetes. Good luck to the rest of you with your resolutions!
