No More Feeling Guilty!

Today started off to be a good day. The scale was my friend this morning, and I was happy with my one-pound weight loss. I got my coffee and headed to the office. It was a pretty busy day. Although I skipped breakfast, which is a No No, I had a great lunch salad. You see, I've been trying to lose 5 pounds for five years, and this time I was sure I would make it. After lunch, I was feeling pretty good about myself, then it happened. There was a birthday celebration in the office, and there was cake. You don't know that I'm very disciplined regarding food, most food anyway. But I seem to lose my mind when it comes to the 4 C's. What are the 4 C's, you ask? You've met them: Cookies, Cake, Candy and Cream, and ice cream. I tried to sing Happy Birthday and return to my desk with all my might. But oh no, one of the C's seemed to chase me around with a fork, at least inside my head. You guessed it, I "ATE" the cake. It was so good I eventually returned to my desk and was sad. Then it started the GUILT. I decided to take a pause and give myself a break. After all, I didn't kill anybody. I'm more important than a pound lost or a yummy piece of cake, and I will stop beating myself up. I will begin again tomorrow and love myself despite that delicious cake. After all, no weapon formed against me shall prosper.
