Cheeseburgers

Sometimes we have to give in. I've learned quite well in my life that if something is forbidden, you will crave it more than anything else! The other night I was with a friend, it was 9:00 at night and we had not eaten dinner. We were driving away from the University of Washington and what did we see? Dicks hamburgers! It had been years since I had eaten there. She dared suggest, and to my surprise, I said yes without even thinking about it! I imagined it would be a moment of bliss for me. We ordered and took it to her house. I took the first bite, it was kind of ok. Another bite....just ok. No, it wasn't bliss. I ate it all because that was our dinner. I couldn't help but think how much better a homeade fresh burger would taste. I'm glad I ate the Dicks hamburger that night. I don't think that I will ever crave one again. I didn't feel vey well the next day. Sometimes we need to give in! We learn! This lesson has taught me that when I'm having a hard time with my son, sometimes I need to give a little. Not all the time, just occasionally. I think he's capable of feeling how his body reacts to food. It will help him learn just the way I did.
