Who IS This Girl??

So today, I went out for coffee with "the ladies", which is the regular Friday thing - drop the boy at preschool and then go and chit chat with the ladies, who are a fantastic group of other mommies (and a gramma) who I am also fortunate enough to have as my neighbours. Two of them know about Mona, and are incredibly suppotive of my decision. And today, although they are supposed to be "being good" along with me, they decided they're going to be naughty and go out someplace for lunch. And they invited me.

As we sat there, discussing possible dining locations that are dripping with deliciousness, I just knew in my head that I wouldn't be joining them. I want to. I love hanging out with them, and we always have so much fun when we're out together, and yet I knew that I would say no. I didn't say no right then, but when they called me just now to to see if I was coming, I declined. This weekend is my dad's birthday, and I'm also going to a Superbowl party, so I know there will be wine, and I just decided that no...I don't want to sabbotage myself today. I might not be that strong tomorrow, or next week, but for today, I'm just not gonna do it. And I feel pretty effing spectacular about my choice!

I don't know who this girl is, but I love her! Where has she been all my life??

  1. Good for you for making a great decision. We do get to choose what goes in our bodies and sometimes our excuse was that others made us do it. You are doing so well, especially losing your 3 yr old :-) Have to find me a little kid-maybe one of my grand-nieces who are both 2 years old. Will have to ask how much they weigh. Also, thanks for the lovely post on my blog. I am still hopeful that things will be a go for the 10th, but I will not let it set me back if they have to delay. This makes it even more important to get my weight off.

  3. I love having those "Hey, I really AM the one in control of me" moments. Sorry you missed out on the chit chat tho. And maybe they got the clue...you'll all benefit if they did and decide to do something healthier next time.
