Frigid morning. Doorbell rings and it is a neighbor Stopping by to say hello. Lovely! She also has brought coffee and a donut for both of us. I declined the donut, feeling all virtuous while enjoying the coffee which I don't have often. About half way through, she says she is glad I like regular coffee. Well no wonder I loved it. Sugar and whole milk - who wouldn't. Of course,I finished every last drop and had more carbs than I usually have all day, much less at 9 AM.

Set the carb monster loose but I got through without too much more damage.

No worries. Forgive the small slip and move on. Acknowledge your human-ness and then live life.

Congrats! Avoiding the carb landslide and not making a big deal out of a minor infraction is huge and I applaud you! Can you believe you actually turned down a donut?
