Yesterday evening my dd came for a short time to use my computer. Hers is in the hospital.
She had a bag of chips and I reached in the bag and got one, with the thought that I would just have one. I see it in my mind in slow motion, like a movie slowed down.My hand came up to my mouth and my mouth opened, and there-before the chip made it in my mouth-I stopped- and I thought
ONE CHIP IS ONE TOO MANY
BECAUSE
ONE CHIP WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH
and I put the chip back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the next time I may not be this strong--The next time that chip may find it's way home. But maybe -just maybe-this time made my "leave it in the bag" muscle just a little bit stronger.
God bless

Joy! A-W-E-S-O-M-E! To put something back as I'm in the process of eating it- that's the hardest thing to do. And I love the way you acknowledge that you might not always be that strong. BUT my money is on, that "leave it in the bag" muscle is a whole ton stronger! Next time you're in this situation, you'll be able to look back and remember that you CAN do it!

Wow! What a victory! The fact that you even stopped to think about what you were doing is huge!
ReplyDeleteHaha. I saw your comment on Josie's blog. :D You are NOT the oldest of the bunch--we're a tie. I'm 59, too. I have to tell you, from what I remember of your blog, you're much younger than I am! Deb
