For years ,..it was never a problem ( because I'd drawn a *no moderation* policy in my mind in those days ) Until one fateful night ,... I thought one or two won't hurt . Four or five later ,...nothin' bad happened ?

Talk about lettin' the Jeannie out the bottle !? I think the 14 I took home didn't see high noon the next day ?

Everything kinda' went downhill from there . And that's gotta be better than a year ago .

I'm done !

Gotta get back to keepin' it simple ,... my life's wa.aaay to complicated anyway .


Oh ,...about Dee's *plan* talk ,..... this evening ,.... instead of letting those sugary golden fried critters stare me down all night I took that tray ( like I used to do every single week ) around our two pools and offer them to the parents of the kids having the time of their life in the water .

Thanks Dee .

.. and thank you Sunny ,..for this thread !
And thank you topspin for being here

That's a great plan and I bet it felt really good to see that tray empty out right in front of your eyes!
Temptations are everywhere. I cringe every day when I'm making my son's peanut butter and jelly sandwich 'cause all I want to do is eat the crust. I failed today and you reminded me why- I did not have a plan. Actually, I didn't use my tools. I should have come here first...
