Yum! Blueberry doughnuts.

[seekerval]

Soooo tasty! Definitely my fave!

The love Jeff and you express for each other should be held as an example of what can be ...

To me, the donuts are an example of unconditional love ... He knows you enjoy donuts and wants you to be happy ... He sees you as he sees you. Ah, to have that in my life!

Enjoy the new hire orientation. Isn't it funny how something so simple can really break up your day?

[seekerval]

Thank you, Neil. You are entirely correct that he does these things because he wants me to be happy. And...I am very fortunate to have that.

The orientation did go pretty well and pretty fast. The afternoon seemed to move at double time.

I stopped at Kwik Trip this morning to get some bananas and some milk for me.
I was soooooooooooooo tempted to get some donuts, but I didn't.
YAY... Me. :)
Hugs, Jon

WELL DONE, JON!!!!

I know (all too well) how difficult it can be to ignore that Siren Song.

Good for you! Now, you can dance a Happy Dance of Celebration for 3 minutes and accomplish some exercise too! Taah-Daaaaah!

Maybe not right now, I filled my tummy with supper. :o

[seekerval]

*Hee* That's as good an excuse as any I use. In fact, it's one of the ones I use. ;-}

Oh, c'mon, Jeff. If you can't think of a slightly healthier treat, at the very least you could cut it down to ONE donut when you know your wife is on a diet. Don't be willfully stupid.

[seekerval]

I've been contemplating how to respond to your comment.

You are too harsh. Despite my commenting on temptation and such, as an adult, what goes in my mouth is, ultimately, my decision. My husband brought me one of my favorite treats. Two, not a dozen.

Don't call my husband stupid. Not even in my "defense".

[dreamshark]

Sorry. Of course your husband is not stupid. But the whole business of men sabotaging their wives' diets (accidentally or not) is such a common trope that practically every diet resource aimed at women talks about it. Of course he buys you things because he loves you, and that's sweet. Richard likes to make me special food too, or buy me things I like. But if I ask him to help me avoid certain foods that I have trouble resisting, he's happy to be supportive, and that's even sweeter. I can't believe that Jeff wouldn't be equally supportive if you discuss it with him and make a plan. Sure, we're all responsible for what we eat. But eating is also a very social activity, which is why he likes buying/making you food. Of course, if two donuts strikes you as exactly the right amount for a little diet cheat, then you're already in sync, so I'll butt out.

Mmmhhh. Christian is dieting with me, and he applied for cake for tomorrow already...:D How could I say no. :D

[seekerval]

I hear you! I get it! We need to wean ourselves from treats gradually. A little at a time.

Right?

[anwyn_elfmaiden]

Yes, no prohibition but little and not too much. :D

[seekerval]

Exactly! Good luck to you with your efforts, my dear.
