I tend to be an "all or nothing" girl. I'll either not do one thing at all or do it big, too big.

Let's say I have to learn about moderation & balance. It's my biggest weakness. It sounds ridiculous, but I'd be better not having any cookies, because if I eat one, I'll eat 5.

Today is the 4th of July and there will be temptations everywhere! I am allowing myself one sweet treat, one salty treat and one drink, because I thought about this. Having one cookie is not the end of the world, at all. The problem is when you have a cookie, and then a cupcake, topped off with some ice cream, etc. You know what I mean. When you go all out.

So, today is practice day. I am allowed:

  • One sweet treat (not two) (like a cookie, a cupcake or a piece of cake)
  • One salty treat (like a burger for dinner or a little bit of chips)
  • One drink (one beer or some lemonade)

So, at the end of the day, you'll know about my three cheats. If I can just have three of those, I will be very proud because usually when I cheat, I cheat big. I know moderation is the next step on the list, so this is kind of like a homework! We have a potluck with all of the residents of the island and there will be a lot of TEMPTATION. Oh lord. Help me.

3 CHEATS NO MORE.

You know I will be suffering.
