Temptation

Temptation is everywhere. No matter what you do it is. From the simple things to the hard ones. For a person like me, who is counting virtually everything their mouth, it is food. Plain and simple. Today I had temptation knock on my door not once but all day.

It started out thi morning with breakfast. I made myself coffee and Chris made cinnamon rolls for him and the kids. I was offered but turned them down because I was in love with my coffee and I really didn't want any. They didn't eat them all and they were there. Sitting, staring at me as if they were calling out to me in this language that demanded I eat one. I refused. I am happy to report that I didn't touch one. As a matter of fact there is still one sitting in the pan waiting on someone to eat it.

But no, as if that was hard enough for me to turn down. I brought my landlord dinner as I always do since he is living alone with his dog and happens to live two houses down from me. He wanted to walk out and get some coffee. So we went. There in the Ponderosa as soon as you walk in the door is the desert case. He called me over and pointed. He knows I am trying to lose weight but did that stop him from offering me anything? Nope. He ordered two pieces of this yummy goodness that resembled cheese cake. He got it to go (thank God). Well after our coffee we walked home and he asked me inside like he always does. Went straight for the kitchen and pulled out two spoons and really tried to talk me into tasting it. I turned him down. I can't believe I am getting a tad stronger in that area.

I know that some things when they come up it is hard to say no. And if it's really that bad, then you just have to do it and not beat yourself up for it. Move on and stay on task from that point on. Bad days will happen. Heck, we are only human on that note. I know when we go to Paris that I will be eating things that I know I shouldn't just because I am in a part of the world that I may never go again and I need to taste and enjoy it fully. Will I beat myself up for it? Honestly I just might. But I know that I am making a lifestyle choice and that challenges will come and I will just have to deal with it.

Tonight for dinner it was a high point one. I made Barbeque pizza from off of the Weight Watchers site. It was 9 points for one piece. I made a salad and had my piece which was rather filling and well worth it. I will definetly make that one again.
