Halfway feelings

Now I feel the real trial has begun.  Not getting what we want when we want is the real issue.  Delayed gratification when it comes to food and snacking---there's the kicker.

 A month of perceived deprivation is tolerable, it doesn't seem too long.  But we've done without our "favorites"" for a month already, now that we're on our way down the home stretch, it is harder to hold in the reins on everybody, myself included. 

 Everybody has wants and wishes that must be said no to sometimes, but when there are a lot of everybodys in the house, the mom feels their pain.  Easter and its feasts are not so far away, though, so some reprieve is around the corner.
