Yesterday the boys were hungry so I offered them trail mix. They agreed so I poured some out on their little table. Out of habit, I popped an M & M and ate it. About that time, I remembered my "sacrifice" of candy. I considered spitting it out, but I said "forget that!" and ate it. No big deal I guess.
I wondered to myself at the time (and still do) how this small compromise would affect me the rest of the way. I sure don't plan on "cheating" again, but I sure didn't plan on eating that M & M. Will this small thing open the door for more? Only time will tell.
BTW: I was asked yesterday if Sunday was exempt from your sacrifice. It's my understanding that traditionally you could do whatever you normally do on Sunday. Just so you know, I am trying to deny myself in the candy way every day.
