Small things amuse small minds? :-)

Today, as I was coming home from school, I just wanted to stop and get a pizza and a chocolate cake (it's been a long week at school). I am pleased to say that I did not stop and get those items. One of the factors is that I gained a pound this week. I was annoyed and it easily could have led me to say 'forget it' and cheat. But, again, I am pleased to say that I didn't say that, either. I really feel that if I don't get serious this time, there may not be a next time (that I will lose the weight). And I really do need/want to lose the weight. Tonight (to the small things now), I was making up my menus for the following week and I found myself getting excited about being able to have lots of fruit/granola/vegs for snacks. Very sad, eh? :-) I am happy about being able to eat smaller meals and have lots of fruit - I really love fruit and love so many different kinds, that it's easy to not get bored with the same old, same old. I can't say the same for vegetables - I do like green/red peppers or cucumbers with low cal dressing to dip in, but there's not much else (other than tomatoes in a salad). I do enjoy searching for low cal desserts that I can have once a month. Now, if they would only make a low cal lemon meringue pie. :-)
