I hate fundraisers

Written by admin on September 18, 2008 – 2:06 am -

Well, maybe I should be a little more specific:  I hate fundraisers at work where they just leave a box of candy bars and an envelope in a high-traffic area.

I fell off the wagon over the past week or so and became a really, really good customer of this particular fundraiser.  As in I bought a couple dozen candy bars and practically bought the whole softball team new uniforms.

Food, food, food.  Buy some food.  It’s for the kids.  BAH!  "Apply directly to hips" is more like it.

I pray that I can resist temptation for sweets more.  It’s something I know that I won’t be able to do with my own power.  A 5% success rate for keeping weight off five years or more says that it’s difficult even with His help.

Here’s a question for you folks who aren’t as tempted by sweets:  How do you say no when your taste buds are screaming yes?
