It looks like you've got a great handle on both! And kudos to you for choosing to eat just 1 cupcake - I swear those little buggers know my name. :)Briannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04641147724155240676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380136761770650017.post-26710080063056743492008-05-23T01:24:00.000-04:002008-05-23T01:24:00.000-04:00As a note?

Just came back from a graduation dinner there-- an estimated 30 points for one (granted, four-course, with beer) meal. Owwie. <BR/><BR/>Not like I was going crazy, but... I could not resist the cheese. I went for lighter choices, but I chose to partake of every course. I enjoyed myself and I feel like I did pretty well (my secret ninja diet power is "cheesecake resist"), but damn, did it hurt to journal it afterward!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380136761770650017.post-26955123273696707082008-05-22T12:19:00.000-04:002008-05-22T12:19:00.000-04:00AMEN Girlfriend!

Its about slow gradual changes, besides, if you and your hubby had throw that hotdog away who's to say you guys would't have done something more damaging because of the underlying feeling you deprived yourself of something. (That's what I would have done, anway:)).

And I think that's when we really get to see how far we've come, because it's then that we see the difference between who we <I>were</I> and who we <I>are</I>. And sometimes that's just as exciting and edifying as being able to make a really "good" choice.<BR/><BR/>And you know, a life when I can't have the occasional hot dog...is not the kind of life I want. :-)<BR/><BR/>V.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380136761770650017.post-47576046594336145132008-05-21T13:58:00.000-04:002008-05-21T13:58:00.000-04:00You're right.

Now and then, though, it's kind of healthy, IMO. <BR/><BR/>(I'm trying turkey dogs this weekend!
