So, one of my very kind clients was sweet enough to thank me for my services - by sending me a tree of Harry and David gifts: chocolate truffles (my absolute favorite), caramels, and cookies. There were about seven boxes, and I was not brave enough to even look in them. I just saw the nutrition information for those three items, and knew that this would be a problem for me. As I recently posted in the sugar-free thread, I have only recently come to accept that I cannot have both sugar and weight control in my life - and I choose weight control.
I came home from the gym (after running SIX MILES - my personal record) and saw the box on my porch. **SIGH** It was great timing, though. I never feel like eating crap for at least an hour or two after I'm done exercising. Still, I had a window of time to get rid of this before I started convincing myself that I deserved at least one truffle because I had just run six miles. And, I am pretty good at throwing unwanted food away, but this was a $50 - $75 gift! I'm not that hardcore. I know that Harry and David have some amazing pears, too, but not in my boxes. They were not heavy enough for pears.
Only one solution came to mind. Regifting. So, I made a decision as to who should get them, and got them out of my house and my life. And had to share here because it's a HUGE victory for me.
