Warm from the oven with a cold glass of milk, please.


Tonight I went to my weekly meeting to face the scales. Who knew what it would bring to me, I hadn't been the best on my diet this week, but I hadn't been really bad either. Well, as I received my book back, much to my chagrin, the results were not pretty. It seems that my gain this week matched exactly what my loss was last week. So, here I am 2 weeks later and I have no change. With a new resolve, I decided that I was going to do my very best for the next 10 days or so, until I step on board that cruise ship.

Having said as much, tonight while sitting on my end watching the Olympics (USA, USA, USA) and typing on my computer I thought I would clean up the Internet and delete temp files etc. Well, while I was looking at my options, I see one that says: "Delete Cookies". I clicked the button and a few moments later they were gone. Which of course got me thinking, too bad I can't do that with my life. I caved over the weekend and had one sugar cookie, but those dang raisin filled cookies were another story. I think about every time I walked by them I felt an urge to have "just one more". I am certain more than anything those cookies had an impact on my scale results.

Besides last weekends cookies, I began wondering what other things there are in life that I wouldn't mind just deleting and pretending they never happened. Well, as I was thinking about it, there really is not a great number of things that I want to forget that I did. Instead there are more things that I would like to add. Things I would have like to have said to someone, or maybe some of those things I should have done, before opportunities were lost. It seems for me, most of my regrets are those things that I didn't do, rather than those things I at least tried.

Anyway, what are some of the things you would like to be able to delete and forget about? Or are you more like me and wish you wouldn't have missed opportunities?
