I'm closest to the what-the-hell effect. It's probably the most common reason out of the three (at least from the people around me). And it became a sort of monkey see monkey do. That and people around me don't give much weight to dieting lol. And I'm on steroid food cravings so I'm having a hard time sticking to "small frequent meals". And it's surpirising you're a sweet tooth enough to bake your own desserts. They look and sound good too so I might pass the links to my sister or mom. I'm only good at eating. And lastly, I'm not a fan of the texture of dates. Or it could just be that I've only tried packaged date products. My dad loves those though.
