No-Sweets Anecdote

Scene: Evening. Emily is sitting dejectedly on the living room couch, watching and/or listening to something on the computer. She is eating Ritz Wheat Crackers. She can hear the general chatter of the ward from her open balcony door. [enter Darcy] Darcy: Hey, Em! What're you up to? Why won't you come outside and hang out with us? Emily: [bites into another cracker] I had to come inside. I just knew that if I stayed outside with everyone I'd eat a peanut butter cookie. So I'm eating Ritz Crackers instead. [exit Darcy, laughing]

No-Sweets

Darcy and I are on a 21 day no-sweets challenge. Day 3 has been killer. Everyone is eating root beer floats outside. I came inside after mingling so I wouldn't continue to tempt myself. I had this thought as I climbed the Y for the first time last month: Anything worthwhile is going to be hard work. And I'll continue to stick to that motto.
