Freedom

I recently lost 31 pounds on the Jenny Craig weight loss program.  Today is my first day of freedom to purchase my own food and would you like to know what I did?  After 5 months on a 1200 calorie a day diet, I bought 1/2 of a cinnamon pudding cake from the Fred Meyer bakery.

I thought about it for a long time.  I circled the cake display. I encountered friends from my Zumba class.  They asked me if I was buying healthy food. I showed them my banannas and peaches. They showed me their vegetables.  We agreed that we were wonderful.

When they walked away, I snatched the cake and sprinted for the check-out stand.

Sometimes I just have to be a rebel.
