Baby steps

We went out to dinner with a friend who was passing through town tonight. I ate two thirds of my meal (2 soft tacos) and stopped. I was satisfied--didn't need more--despite the fact that the food was really tasty.

Then I walked with that friend down to a little market on our street. She was there to pick up beer to take over to another friend's apartment. I was there to walk her to the store. But once we were there, I thought about ice cream. Then I thought, "Really, I'm thirsty. I'm full of food, but I'm thirsty." So I got some Evian as a treat.

Little choices matter. I need to celebrate them.
