Four tenths

There was a time when this small number would mean absolutely nothing to me. It is quite miniscule to most people but tonight it was a great accomplishment. You see I spent the weekend with the in-laws and it was stressful. In addition to the stress, there was mounds food.

I looked in my MIL's fridge and saw strawberries and thought great, strawberries, I can eat those but when they were served, they were accompanied by vanilla cake, whipped cream and saturated with sugar. They did not resemble the strawberries that formerly resided in the fridge. There were mushrooms, I can eat those, but when served they were sliced and drowned in butter and salt. New potatoes, yea, new potatoes, mashed to bits and mixed with mayonnaise, eggs and relish.

The good news is that I did not succumb to this food murder. I ate what was good for me and I lost. It was only FOUR TENTHS but a loss is a loss in my book.
