Another 'Moment' To Share

I have a 'moment' to share with you guys ...

Last night I was feeling tired after a housecleaning day of vacuuming, weeding the lawn, washing and just generally tidying up the house. Bill rang before he left work to ask if I wanted a bottle of wine and I told him "no that if I wanted anything there was a little rum here but that I didn't really need it."

He came home and when he realised there was no diet coke in the fridge asked me if I wanted him to go get some. Again I said "no it's okay". He then proceeded to say if he didn't go then I needed to. I assertively said "I didn't need any and that neither of us needed to go". But hobbling on his sore foot (he tore his ligament a week ago) he made me feel really bad by going down the road to get me some diet coke anyway. When he got back I said thanks and promptly put it in the fridge for another night.

Then an hour later he got the glass out and poured me a very strong rum and diet coke (boy this guy doesn't give up). Talk about determination needed to resist this one. Deep down I really did want one but I had been so good all day and I knew this would put me over in points. And with an outing planned to the cricket on Saturday I knew I needed to save any extra points not waste them on alcohol. For a split moment I gave in and took a sip. Saying to myself that it was poured now, I had to drink it. Then some tiny amount of willpower came up within me to say that I actually didn't have to drink it and that if I didn't I would feel much better and prouder of myself for it. So guess what?? I tipped it down the sink!!! After taking one sip I was still able to throw it away!

That moment concluded a very successful day for me in every possible way ... came in under points but still ate 3 meals and 3 snacks, drank 1.6litres of water (wahoo!!), did 5pts of exercise and today I FEEL DAMN SEXY FOR IT!!! :))
