Okay, can you imagine!
I have been home all day with my family just relaxing enjoying my Saturday watching TV and lounging in my PJs.
"Making great choices on what I put in my mouth"
My kids had an event at church, I elected to stay home did a little blogging and got some well needed work done.
Just as I finished, I heard my family enter the front door.
All of a sudden, I had this aroma go through my home.
I honestly thought I was imagining it.
As soon as I hit the bottom stair, I look across my dining room entry and I see my entire family surrounding the kitchen table with bags from a
"burger joint"~No joke!~
I turned around immediately and headed back up the stairs, about half way up I turned back down and headed directly to the table
again.
The thought came across my mind ~maybe I'll just try one french fry~

The rational side of me.
I call him "Skinny Vinny" started speaking very quickly in my head.
So I listened, went back upstairs put my walking gear on and headed out for a 2 mile walk.
Texted my walking partner and I shared with her what was going on!
She immediately reinforced the need for me to walk away from the situation and she joined me for my nightly walk...
Thank you!
I also text my "buddy" and he made a very simple statement...
"Don't hate, congratulate!!
(They can eat it and not gain wait!)
I quickly realized it's not their fault and there is no need to hold my entire family hostage.
I could have easily joined them and gave in, "but" not this time.
Once again, I find myself more motivated than I have ever been before.
I need to listen to
"Skinny Vinny" more often!
~Much more to come~ V
