***OK, so the HR department had a fall "bake-off" contest and there's 10 different desserts sitting in the lunch room. I know they're there and I know I shouldn't eat them. However, I'm beginnign to obsess about them. That's just not good. So, I think I'll go in and sample a couple. That way I might be able to focus on something other than food!
***I feel much better now! :-)

***asked Husband to bring home ice cream. And he was going to. I really didn't want it, but felt like I should have it. I love icecream. So much so, it's a habit. The light bulb went off when he agreed to get it. I gave him some grief for agreeing to get it. He knows better! But he's an enabler when it comes to icecream. See, I won't go buy it myself, I'm too embarrassed. But, he'll get it for me. So, I told him not to bring it home. I didn't really want it, I certainly don't need it and I had the dessert sampling this afternoon. I read a blog post this week (see link below) that made a good point....having a slip up (dessert this afternoon) doesn't give you a license to slip up the rest of the day. I've had that outlook for way too long. I would eat something for lunch that I shouldn't and figured the day was ruined, so I wouldn't worry about what I ate the rest of the day/week/month. So, saying no to icecream was a step in the right direction. Am I giving up icecream? Absolutely not! But, I'll try to be a little wiser about when I have it.
