Ask Baba Yaga: How Can I Stop Eating Sweets?

Dear Baba Yaga,

I cannot stop eating treats. No matter how hard I try, I can’t keep away from cookies, cakes, sweet creams, et cetera. I think it is harming my love life and my teeth. Please help me and my decadent indulgence.

BABA YAGA:

Baba does not help withe foolish cravings. Baba will not carry you away from the creams on a platter, will not leave you in the middle of the forest : to be pecked at by birds. You have the platter ; you have the birds ; you have the hut where you may shut yrself and feel yr own wisdom settle around you like flies as you sweat out the sweetness&honey.; No one ever will pick up yr smallest rubbish on this earth which shuts its eyes to all suffering.
