I did. I was dropping my girls off at youth group last night, one was eating an everything bagel, toasted, with REAL cream cheese. She didn't finish it all and left it on the front seat. Next to me. I took one bite. It tasted amazing. But I hadn't allotted for eating it. And it stared at me and mocked me and tempted me so I grabbed the darn thing and before I knew it, I chucked it out the car window. Can't believe it I did it.
But sometimes temptations, carbs, chocolate, sweets, chips, etc are too much for an overeater like me and I have to get away from it ASAP. I don't condone littering and I comfort myself knowing that some birds had a tasty snack.
I'm off to an early 7am meeting. But I had to confess. I guess those of us that struggle with food have to do that sometimes, chuck the temptation out the window to succeed. And that's ok. You don't see alcoholics with a bottle of beer in their bag, smokers with cigarettes in their breast pocket. We gotta do what we gotta do since the temptation is all around us.
Now I'm off! Peace out!
