abstinence
Yesterday we had some friends over for dinner. After dinner, my husband served some dessert to our guests. I sat down with them and had my evening snack--yogurt. I didn't miss the dessert, didn't wish I had it, and didn't even care when they said, "You're not having any?" I just said nope, and went on with my yogurt. It was great when I went to bed and thought about how I could have eaten dessert, but it would just be a memory by then, it would have broken my abstinence, and it wouldn't have been good for me. Why would I do that? I am so thankful that I don't have to make decisions about having dessert or deal with the reprucussions of having it. Instead, I know that I don't eat it...ever. No decisions to make.
And even better news... I went shopping at the mall for new jeans today in a smaller size. :-)
