How Could I Resist?

For some reason I have ballooned! That's right...it's like someone just blew me up! It's really irritating. I think I must have gained about 10 pounds since last year. Every time I decide to lose it, someone tempts me. Yes...THEY tempt me. Today, Darby, our wonderful volunteer prepared delicious nachos...complete with chips, salsa, shredded cheese, velveeta cheese dip, and chili. Oh, don't let me forget the desserts...cakes and cookies. How could I resist?
Last night, Donald and I went to eat at Ortegas. We ordered my fav...quesadillas...we usually share an order, but last night I was on the phone when he ordered.....low and behold, he ordered me a full order! How could I resist?
On Monday, we surprised Jennifer with food for boss's day.....we had desserts and salads. I tried to stick with the salads but the desserts were so enticing...how could I resist? That night, Donald worked until dark, so I made one of our favorite quick meals... grilled scrambled egg sandwiches on oat bread....yummy! How could I resist?
Sunday I had Mexican food again....quesadillas of course....chips and dips....I salivate just thinking of it....How could I resist?
Saturday we got up early to go garage sale shopping! We had our coffee and English muffins, which was healthy enough. But all that shopping made us hungry so we drove out to Kool Beans and ordered my usual...low fat sugar free vanilla latte and chowed down on French toast and apple scones...How could I resist?
The week before we celebrated Teresa's last treatment for her breast cancer (yea!) and we feasted on every type of pink food and pink dessert known to man (and woman of course). It was a beautiful spread for a beautiful woman....How could I resist?
The week Tristin was born I went to stay with Cari....I made a chicken pot pie that was to die for. I'm afraid to make it here...I'm afraid I will eat the whole pie! I also made several other dishes for her to freeze and eat later....we had chicken and spaghetti and a chocolate cake from Kevin's mom...delish...and of course I couldn't leave without making cookies for the new family and their neighbors.....How could I resist?
Oh, the lists of food goes on and on.....and I realize now that there must be a little devil sitting on my shoulder saying "How can YOU resist?" After seeing all the good food I've been eating, I think I understand why I've gained weight! Well, I'm getting control of myself. Tomorrow I'm starting my new diet/way of eating......I've got to or I'll be buying an entire wardrobe! So I'll be making better food choices....no Cokes or Dr. Peppers....no sweets....no chips and dips....no quesadillas (that's gonna be hard)....but I've got to do it! How can I resist??????
