This past week has been a little frustrating. I've tried and tried to stick to my plan and was doing well until I had a girl night and I had a friend begging me to have dessert because "girl nights are just not the same without it. Their JUST NOT!" So....me being the people pleaser, I gave in. And dessert, I did have. Then two days later I had this same friend over for a movie and I had some snacks available for her because I didn't want a repeat and then she was chastising me for having these things out because she'd been good all day and was now trying not to eat it! Oh NO SHE DIDN'T! I was so instantly bugged because here I am trying to go out of my way to please her and not myself. I want to completely vow to never do that again! Unfortunately I'm sure through life I'll have to or will do something for someone that I don't particularly want to do but I can tell you this....these days I'm going to listen to myself a little bit more. I'm so annoyed.
So here's the deal. I don't know if a 30 day quest is a good thing or not. But I do know that eating it because someone else wants me too is not happening anytime soon!!!
I love hearing from you all. It's so wonderful and I feel a little more connected. Thanks for blogging. I find myself always excited to log on and see if anyone posted. :)
Jennie, My dear, it IS a dilemma! When I was growing up, Grandma Evans would bake cookies, homemade bread, pies, and so much more. I equated all that homemade goodness with love, and that is something that I felt I should do to be a good mom. The sweet confections are part of our celebrations, traditions, as well as our day to day routines such as the "after school snacks." No wonder your friend wanted you to eat the goodies with her. Now here is the question...Could you have enjoyed the evening just as much, if there were a fresh fruit alternative to the offerings? (or some other healthy option)
