Sabotage

Why do I do it?

I lose a few pounds and I get all cocky. Like I deserve something special.

I made meatballs for the boys last night and when they were finished there were four left.

I couldn't let them go to waste could I?

So. I. ate. them.

And I felt horrible.

What's different this time though is that I didn't immediately dive in to the ice cream tub that's been calling for me every time I open the freezer. I didn't open the box of cookies or binge on cheese.

I stopped, realized that all wasn't lost, and moved ahead.
