Finally!!!

 WRITING PROMPT: Starting over 

I did it. I wrote a daily blog for all of September. This was far more challenging and time consuming than I expected. I enjoyed feeling stretched... some of the time, but I'm also disappointed that it took up any spare time for other writing projects. Still, I feel accomplished. 

An even bigger accomplishment... NO-SWEET SEPTEMBER... I MADE IT! This was  hard, especially on the days when hormones were screaming for something sweet. I didn't ever get around to blogging about PMS. Honestly, aside from actually reaching my goal, I feel like I didn't learn my lesson with this one. I replaced sweets with even more diet soda. Every time I'd mention this fact to someone, almost inevitably I was told, "Oooh, don't you know diet is just as bad for you?" 

Yes. Yes, I do. But I need something in my life that is delicious! Get off my back, Judgey McJudgerson!

The day after the last day of September is the kick off for something the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints calls "General Conference". It runs all weekend, and my family treats it akin to the Super Bowl. Although I physically haven't eaten sweets for the month, I've mentally been planning all the treats for our General Conference spread. 

The worst part about it is I don't even feel guilty that I bought two packages of cookies and a bag of chocolate chips to bake more cookies. I should feel guilty. But I am so ready to stress eat again. 

There's always January to start over.

But for now... I accomplished two goals. Woo!
