A Little Celebration worth Sharing

I was in Daytona beach this past weekend on LPGA business and we always stay at the Hilton Garden Inn when we are there. Each evening the hotel bakes the most amazing cookies and puts them out for us. When we got back from dinner, everyone went over and grabbed a cookie and so did I. When I got back to my room I realized what had happened. I had acted out of habit and not out of my reality. I looked at the cookie and honestly did not want it and knew the price I would pay would be far too high for a cookie, so I put it down on the desk and went down to the looby & purchased a Zone bar. 14grams of protein in that baby! I ate about 1/2 of the Zone Bar and without hesitation threw away the cookie.

For me this was an event worth celebrating. I was very proud of myself. Ishared the experience with my colleagues the next mroning and they all clapped  and gave me big hugs.

Hi Dona,

I'm delighted that you decided to share this... It's so important for us to recognize how much we have eaten just out of habit. Not only that, but for you to substitute something that could undermine your success with something that will support it is powerful. You're on your way to hitting a home run my friend. Keep up the good work.

By the way, I think it's great that you have so much support from your friends and family.

Wishing you continue success,

Barbara
