And this one will be short. Had a coupe of good moments the last couple of days I wanted to share. The best is probably that today I am wearing a pair of jeans that have been too small for 2 years. They're 2 sizes smaller than the jeans I've been wearing (which admittedly have been too big for a while).

Also, one of my coworkers has brought in a bunch of chocolate for the office, and I've had a really easy time just ignoring the fact that it's there. I've managed to not have sweets at all yet in 2007, with the exception of a few Hershey's kisses on New Year's Day. Last night I went to a Sharks event at Dave and Buster's, and my friends ordered a couple of fondue desserts to share. I had tried really hard to order a healthy-ish dinner- a house salad and philly steak rolls, which yes, were totally fried but at least not breaded and fried, and not at all greasy, and I wasn't all that tempted by the desserts. I mean, I was tempted, but it wasn't hard to resist. But this is how awesome my friends are- the fondue came with all kinds of sweet things of course, but there were strawberries and banana slices on the plate, and they saved the strawberries for me (they know I'm allergic to bananas or they probably would have saved me those too) so that I could finish my meal with something sweet without eating "sweets".
