This is awesome! That takes a tremendous amount of courage and I am so proud of you! (I'm not sure proud is the exact word I want, but you know what I mean.)

I really have to keep myself busy or distracted when I am like that.

So, determination and will power have won the day lol
That sounds like a terrific day to me! You did it! You stayed on track and strengthened your resistance muscles!!!!

That is so funny!!! Thanks for the reminder that I need to be up front with my husband about what may be headed his way during the next week or so.
