Kiki just made me strong

Okay so a co-worker of mine who's light duty right now and doesn't even know I had this surgery just came in and offered me a cream puff - a big delicious looking completely scrumptious eye tempter - that is BAD for me and WILL make me no matter WHAT type of moderation (loosely using that word) I use. I realized YES I DO HAVE CONTROL and NO I WON'T USE moderation in this case. Do I want to feel sick, do I want to feel out of control - do I want to make poor choices? No I DO NOT! I will take responsibility for myself today. I will use the support I get here to realize that I am human and that I feel strong today and that I appreciate all the strength and support I get from all of you. Was that a ramble I think it was.

People never know when they post how they will impact someone else's life. Kiki seemed to have impacted a lot of people today. I'm proud of you by the way. It feels so good when we fight the demon and win. Have a good evening!

Thanks Pat and you couldn't be MORE right in that statement. Some days those things people post really change my thought process for the day and that's exactly what Kiki did!

No it wasn't a ramble, but if you think it was and it helped you, than ramble away..... I am soooooo proud of you! You used the power of abstaining. You had a choice and you chose what was best for you. Making that choice felt better than that cream puff would've tasted any day. Good for you! This is how we support each other. Sharing our strengths and weakness both contribute to all of us. Thanks for sharing this moment with us. Jeannie

Thank you so much Jeannie - and you're right the choice to not wrap my lips around that thing was the best tasting thing I've had today. It was the best food (for thought) ever!

THREE CHEERS FOR INSPECTOR GIRL.... HIP, HIP.....HOORAY!!!!!!!! HIP, HIP.....HOORAY!!!!!!! HIP, HIP.....HOORIAY!!!!!! Way to go kiddo...you done GREAT!!! I wish I could say the same for myself...I just got home from work, poured myself a small bowl of "Life" cereal and am now starting to feel the effects of a full blown dumping session coming on. I'm even skipping my shower until I get up later so I can lay down... Be good...Cap'n K-Man
