Hindsight is 20/20

Yesterday my husband and I popped into Walmart to grab a few household items.  As we walked by the candy aisle I had an internal dialogue with myself about the pros and cons of picking up a bag of Ghirardelli's Milk Chocolate Caramels.  In the end the weight-watching part of me won out over the chocoholic me and I secretly patted myself on the back for my strength as I pushed my cart toward the checkout lane.

Later in the evening I had an enormous craving for sweets and told my husband that I would just about kill for some chocolate.  He said "Now we were at the grocery store today.... so why didn't you think about it then?"  I replied "Well, I did think about it at the grocery store and I showed remarkable strength and will-power by passing it up.  Of course right now I am wishing I had been a much weaker person."
