Default One small victory for me

Today, I had to make brownies for the little people. These are my favorite kind chocolate with caramel in the middle. I did not take ONE SINGLE BITE of the brownies. I seriously looked at them and new how I would feel after easting them and resisted. This may not seem much for you people, but this is coming from a person who used to eat so many bad things for my body. I know I didn't weigh all that much when I started, but that was because I got really sick lost a lot of weight (and I'm short) then decided to take control of my life.

I've got a 15 month old and she's always putting her sippy cup and sugared puffs up to my mouth and I have to pretend that I'm tasting them, but I don't.

When I have to cut up some fruit for her, it's almost a habit to lick my fingers, but I wash them off. I'm doing my best to do this as well as I can.

I do have my weaknesses, but I'll beat those in another week, as I start week 2 of induction.

Doesn't it feel good to say "No"? I think so.
