This is one of those "it works" stories. We got back from Hometown Buffet
and a quick trip to the store. Jayn said "do we have any chocolate?" I
answered "yes" and since I happened to be standing near the chocolate in the
kitchen, I broke off a piece and held it out to her. "I don't want any.
Thank you." And she wandered off.

Oh, I've got one too! I went with my daughter to her Girl Guides enrolment ceremony last night. There was a table full of chips, donuts, cookies, cakes during the party afterwards and she didn't want any of it. But as soon as we got home, she said she was hungry and asked for a bowl of oatmeal. LOL!

It's not that she just doesn't like donuts, cookies etc. - I took her and her younger brother out to get some donuts the other day because they asked. The great thing is that she doesn't feel the need to eat them just because they are available (that's me!).

Most excellent! LOL

But she isn't a true woman yet...walking away from chocolate, indeed.

Yesterday Keith and I went to see SWAT, at the dollar movie.
I was too sick to eat popcorn, but I was a little stomach-growly, so I
grabbed four little Dove chocolates from the office supplies drawer near my computer
and shared them with Keith on the way. They were left (there were many
more) from two bags Marty bought me for Mother's Day. It's not that I don't like
chocolate, it's that even I finally had enough. <g>

It didn't surprise me that my recovery from desperation lasted longer than
most of my own children's childhoods. But in the past few years I can let
stuff I really love sit.

Hee hee, I have one also, last nite we came back from
the grocery store, and a friend was at the door. As I
was putting the groceries away, including sugar wafers
that he had wanted, they got out the yogurt and the
string cheese. His friend had never had string cheese
before, she liked it a lot!
