WOW moment
I shared something at our post op meeting last night, which I did not think was such a wow moment, but after the meeting Jeff (our psychologist) took me aside and told me that what I did was huge!
Last weekend my husband was snowmobiling with his friend. He left Friday afternoon. My girlfriend and I were supposed to go to Loon skiing with the league that sponsors my dodgeball team on Saturday. Friday, I came down with a cold. Well, the trip got canceled, so my friend and I were going to go to Gunstock. I was feeling just yucky enough, and she was just getting over being sick, that we decided not to go. When I am sick, all I want is sweets...Ice cream, chocolate, all the yummy stuff. I was also in desperate need of groceries. I knew that I could not trust myself to go to the store and NOT buy the Ben and Jerry's I was so craving, so I made some sugar free pudding, and made the decision to not go shopping until my hubby got home. Once he got home, I went shopping, and there was no desire to buy the Ben and Jerry's. I must admit, I feel pretty good about that decision now.

Yes, that is definitely a WOW moment! Not only did you resist the temptation of buying and eating the ice cream, but you changed your schedule to accomplish that. And I know that I have to do things when I have time to do them. If I have to change my schedule, it can really throw me off. So you go, girl - pat yourself on the back!
