Is that willpower or what?!?!?!?
So my 3-year-old is in preschool, and on Valentine's day, I was the parent volunteer in her class. The day before I started my fast (the day before Valentine's Day so no romantic dinner for me!!), I had made cookies and prepared their snack so I wouldn't be tempted and was really proud of myself for thinking ahead!! We were supposed to go to a playdate that morning so I had som eextra cookies, and then when the kids got sick, I sent them to work with my hubby so I wouldn't be tempted by them. Yay me! The BIG test was, however, came at preschool. When you're the parent volunteer, you do the craft with the kids while the teacher is, you guessed it, teaching! Sure, no problem, I can handle that. So I get to the class, and the craft is painting a strawberry with chocolate!!! That was seriously rough. But that wasn't the worst part. I had to clean up after "craft" time, and her teacher told me that I could dispose of the chocolate. SO there I am at the sink, dumping this bowl of beautiful, melted chocolate. I desperately wanted to stick my hand in there and munch down!! But I didn't! I stayed strong!! I held my ground!! And even though a piece of my heart went down the drain with that chocolate, I am proud of myself!!!

Jenny that is amazing! You are SO strong! I am the same with chocolate, it feels like a piece of my heart! haha. Food is even MORE tempting when you are on a restrictive diet. Keep being positive and stay strong! You are such an inspiration to me Jen!
