Temptations Everywhere....Some Brought on by Myself

I have to confess something.... I have a weakness for Pop Tarts. I like the Strawberry ones. Each day when I walk to our office building's mailbox they call to me from the vending machine. I try with all of my might to walk away.....sometimes I make it, sometimes I don't. Today I walked by the vending machine and thought to myself, "Why do all of the things I love have to taste so good and be so bad for me?" Then I slapped myself back to reality (Not really because the people who share our building might call the police or something about the crazy lady slapping herself in front of the vending machine...ha). I HAVE TO CHANGE THE WAY I THINK! I have to remind myself that there are LOTS of things I love that are not bad for me and focus on those things. For example, today in my lunch I have a wide variety of fruit! I love fruit.

Another confession I have to make is I like to bring my kids a little treat from time to time and this treat was some cinnamon rolls with icing. Now, normally I don't buy these things because I will eat them myself and that is not the goal here, Right? Right! So when my kids saw there were cinnamon rolls in the fridge last night the questions started flying, "When are you gonna make those? Can we have them for breakfast?" You know the drill. So I promised the kids I would make them. Well, I forgot and remembered at 11PM last night that I promised so back down to the kitchen I go to bake them. All was fine until about 20 minutes into it when the smell of cinnamon rolls baking started making it's way up the stairs to my room. When they were finished I put the icing on them and licked a little off of the knife. When I was done having a tiny smidge of sweet I did something that I pray will someday be alot easier....I WALKED AWAY! That's not to say I didn't want one because I DID. Lesson learned here is that these treats are ok for the kids from time to time, but I have to keep my eye on the prize! That prize will be the joy of knowing that NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS SKINNY FEELS. Say it with me.....NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS SKINNY FEELS!!!!!

I CAN DO THIS.......

I MUST DO THIS......

I WILL DO THIS.......
