I Survived

(Originally Posted September 14, 2007)

Last night I had some girlfriends over to scrapbook. I love having friends over and spend the evening listening to old 80’s music, scrappin and eating. Usually my way of thinking is, that a crop is NOT a crop without CHOCOLATE!!! So since it was at my house and I did not want to sabotage myself, I stocked the food table with a veggie platter, Chex mix, Tortilla chips with Salsa. I also provided a birthday cake for my friend Sandra’s birthday. She and a couple of other women had a piece, but there was still a 3/4 of cake when 2:00 am rolled around. The house was empty of scrappers and my family was upstairs tucked snuggly into their beds. And there I was carrying that single layer chuck of tempation up the stairs and into the kitchen. It did go through my mind to cut a piece and eat it…”who would know”….”I would just have a small piece”…BUT then the coolest thing happened. I said NO. I said I want to lose this weight, way more than I want that piece of cake. So I laid the cake on the counter, got a glass of water and went up to bed. I fell asleep with a much more satisfying felling than the piece of chocolate cake would have left me with.

1 battle down…a LIFETIME to go!!!
