Yesterday I need a break and went to the BX just to walk around. I didn't really need anything (I still bought stuff of course!) I just wanted some peace and quiet away from DH and my new puppy who's a joy, but into everything.
I wandered around for a while and found a few things to buy. When I arrived at the cashier the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups were calling my name. I tried to turn around, and there was a bag of Reese's Mini's hanging from the other impulse purchase rack! I was totally ready to cave!

Just then the cashier was ready to ring up my purchase. I was so relieved to walk forward and not look directly at the candy. I said to her "Thank you, I was just about to buy some Reese's" Do you know her response? She said "You can be strong and resist."
"You can be strong and resist." I laughed and thanked her. I was so grateful for this unexpected kindness from a total stranger. She absolutely helped me to reaffirm my choices to eat healthy and put good things in my body. She reminded me I am stronger than candy, and I can resist impulse purchases.
Be kind to each other today!
