It's hard to lose weight in Iowa

I've had a hard time staying on the weight wagon for the last year or so. The worst culprit is probably travel, especially when the travel involves breakfast in the meeting room. Oy! But Iowa has lots of temptations on its own:Today was the annual Mennonite relief sale at the local fairgrounds, and the photo is part of the long table of pies for sale. And I'm supposed to be able to walk by and not sample one? In fact I did get by the table -- but not the homemade doughnuts or the ribeye steak sandwich or the homemade ice cream with hot fudge sauce. Of course, it was all for a good cause. But you know, perhaps the weight problem isn't Iowa's fault; perhaps it's mine...
