that perfect little round m&m...

So I am taking the Healthy Habits challenge this week. I am addicted to exercising so that is not the problem, but lately sugar (so weird because I have never had a sweet tooth before and no I'm not pregnant), the water, and the eating after 7:30 have been my hardest.

I have vowed to myself that I will not lose this challenge!!!! Then came the little m&m...

A really good friend of mine took my two boys for a few hours this evening and in their little play date she took them to McDonald's and got milk shakes. They bring them home and are eating them and without my notice my 2-yr-old starts spitting out the m&ms. Apparently he was just in it for the ice cream. Anyway, I walk by and see a little, perfectly round, chocolate, sweet, smooth, scrumptious, inviting and enticing m&m that just happens to be singing this ever-so-tempting tune to me, inviting me to pick him up and enjoy the sweet, smooth flavor. Just a small, I mean a mini m&m, probably not even worth 10 calories just humming its beautiful little song to me.

So what do I do? I pick him up and think "Bonnie, are you strong? Are you stronger than one m&m that won't even last 5 seconds in your mouth? Are you stronger than one m&m that won't even last 5 seconds in your mouth, yet will leave your body craving more and more? Who is stronger Bonnie? Your mind's will to be healthy and in control or your tastes buds' will to have a little kick of flavor? Who is stronger?"

Well I'll tell ya what. I AM STRONGER THAN THAT PUNY LITTLE RINKY DINK M&M!! I AM SUPERWOMAN AND THAT M&M IS DOWN THE DRAIN!!

Don't fall for the m&ms.....especially the ones spit out and lying on the carpet!

YOU ARE STRONGER!
