Willpower

Today was an exercise in Willpower.  Good thing I exercised that because Lord knows I didn't exercise anything else.  Though I did go up 4 flights of stairs and I did squeeze in one lap in the skywalk over my lunch break.  No walk with the dogs today and no other exercise to be had unless you count my fingers exercising all over the computer keyboard.

Anyway, on to Willpower.  Sometimes on Sunday morning, a coworker is kind enough to make a homemade breakfast for all the kids and all the staff.  That was today.  She made a huge batch of French Toast Bagel Bites which are super nummy along with a ton of sausages.  I walked by those bits of french toasted bagels more than once and listened to them literally screaming my name from the platter upon which they sat.  I eyed them up, but mostly ignored them.  The sausages did the same only not quite as loudly and I ignored them as well.  What I did dive into was the fresh fruit platter that was also available and I had me some delicious pineapple and one strawberry.

Then, at the end of the day, another coworker decided to make up a bunch of S'mores for the kids and the staff.  S'mores are about one of my favorite treats, and one I have only about once every 5 years or so.  I watched the kids eat up the gooey, melty goodness.  I stayed strong and resisted.  And I didn't feel bad about it one bit.  Resisting is actually getting a smidge easier for me and with each resistance comes a stronger sense of pride and confidence that yes, I can make good choices.  My dream is that I will be able to indulge once in a while, but for now I am going to resist until I can't resist anymore.
