Cheating doesn't make it better

Jun 22, 2009

Ok, so I'm having surgery Thursday and I slipped today. My wife was out of town with the girls, and I had my son here at the house. I went out with him to get a haircut and it was around dinner time (first part of the mistake I guess) I had to get him something to eat and went ahead and ordered for me too.. bummer. I ate about half of a burger and a few fries and threw the rest out. I know it's probably not that big of a deal, but it was depressing. The first bite was great, but even then in the back of my mind I was wanting to toss it out.

Oh well, nothing to do but move on. :-) Im sure it won't really affect my surgery, and in a way it's nice to know that my desires are changing enough to not burn through the whole burger. I think that it might have actually made me stronger.

I'm pretty excited about tommorow morning because I finally get sworn in as a CASA volunteer. I had been praying about and tossing the idea around for a long time, and finally decided even though it will be hard when school starts back up, that the effort will be worth the rewards of the labor. I hope I get assigned a child that I can really help out. Of course, that will be a little after the surgery now.. :-)
