cheating

So, I've cheated on my "giving up" pledge. In case you forgot, I gave up candy for Lent (middle of Feb) and cookies in April. I'm planning on giving up cake in June. So, back to the cheating part. I wanted to be forthcoming. In the two and a half months since I started giving these things up, I've cheated three times. Once when I had a chocolate truffle, once when I had some Girl Scout cookies and once today when I had a serving of Runts. You see, some of the afterschool specialists got me some candy for my birthday earlier this month. I didn't have the heart to tell them I had given it up. So, I accepted it graciously and it's been in my car ever since. I tried to give them away today and no one wanted them. So, I had 12 pieces (1 serving, according to the package).

Overall, that's pretty darn good, I think. I'm not proud that I cheated, but I am proud that I have been able to resist so many other times. :)
