resisting temptation

Hello lovely readers,

This morning I went to get my oil changed/tires rotated, and I had a big decision to make.  I always take my car to the same place, and I usually go in the morning.  Since I scheduled the appointment yesterday I had been thinking about how excited I was to get a donut when I got there.  In the waiting room, they always have a box or two of donuts in the morning.  Now, sometimes they have Dunkin Donuts and that's no problem for me to leave alone.  But this morning, I walk in the waiting room and there to my delight I see two dozen Krispy Kreme donuts.  Mmmm......as I worked to keep the saliva from dribbling out of my mouth I already started feeling guilty about eating them (because I had already decided I was getting 2).  So I thought about it for a moment, and decided against the donut.  I sat at a table (in an adjacent room, and that may have helped me resist), opened up my mini can of V8 and decided that I would resist the temptation.  As I downed my V8 (I'm sure I was pretending it tasted like donut) I was so proud of myself.  I decided recently that I need to start eating better because I have been terrible lately so I felt like this was a big step for me.  I think one of the best things about resisting temptations is how proud you feel of yourself afterward!!!!  The yummy taste of the donuts would have only lasted for about a couple minutes as I ate them, but my awesome feeling of resisting has lasted all day!!!!!  

Feel free to share your stories of resisting those urges, good deeds you've done, or just something lately that has made you feel good inside.

Tootles for now,
Peace, love and happiness
