In the lion's den


There I was. Alone. Faced with three of these. Waiting 30 minutes for the people to appear. My only weapons: lipstick, a water bottle, an apple and my brain. Didn't want to mess up the lipstick, but finally broke down, ate the apple, then reapplied the lipstick. I used my brain to say this "None of those cookies are worthy... except maybe the homemade oatmeal ones which I made from scratch and had tasted earlier. Feeling good about surviving that, range intact.

  1. I'm looking at the picture and thinking they are all worthy especially the homemade ones....but...I wouldn't have touched them. By the end of July I will eat two or three of these beauties and I won't feel one bit guilty.

  2. Hooray for you! What was the occasion? I have a baby shower to go to on Saturday morning. I survived the last one despite the presence of Costco muffins. Wish me luck this time!

  3. The occasion, sadly, was a funeral reception at church. But the lovely lady had, God bless her, lived a long and fulfilling life. The kind of life I think we'd all like to live.

  4. Way to go Mellisa! I love that you had a plan for conquering this temptation.

  5. I made a plan in my calories today so I could enjoy a 31 cent scoop of Baskin Robbins 31 flavors. Too good to pass up at that price.

  6. I love that you passed up something not so great for a better treat at home. I was worried that you were just not eating any treats but I totally would pass up something like that for a better treat a few hours later.

    The lipstick would have totally stopped me too!
