Confessions

It is that time of year when the weather is changing and everything in my closet is looking old, dingy, and boring because I've worn it all winter. I am getting the itch to go buy new, pretty, bright, springy things. Simply digging some clothes out of storage would be a simple solution, but that just doesn't sound nearly as fun.

So for now, I am practicing restraint, I am praying I don't sink back into old habits. I am fighting the little temptations that creep across my mind: I've earned it, I "need" it, everyone else does it, it isn't going to make any difference.

We are almost to month 4 of my so called commitment. There have been victories and defeats (sometimes I really just want a Coke!). Are wondering why I shouldn't be drinking coke? Stay tuned. I feel like the major battle right now is to not lose my dedication. Not to become discouraged or overwhelmed by the largeness of the problem, and continue doing the small part I can play, even if it is the teeniest, tiniest part. So this week that is my goal, not to give up.
