SQUIRREL..........

It has been a wild weekend for the dip project. Let me just tell you that I had this crazy idea Friday night. I ,being the impatient person I am, decided no more playing around. I had enough of this casually slipping in a dip ever so often to ease the urge! I was mad at myself. I want to put the dip away and not want it ever again. I announced that as of midnight I was done. No dip. It was over!!! Yeah RIGHT!!!! It was an Oscar worthy declaration..........

Ummm, until Saturday!

Pocket Full of Sushine's father has a new published book and we went to his book signing. Well, she laughed at me for the most of the day. She compared me to those doggies in that movie UP. You've seen the ads on TV right now. It's a movie released several months ago but they have been running ads like crazy because it's coming out on DVD. Anyway, in the movie there are these doggies that wear collars that allow them to speak English. They carry on very intelligent conversations but have one problem. Whenever, they see a squirrel they immediately become obssesed with the squirrel. They yell SQUIRREL lose all train of thought, chase the squirrel which then usually transform into some sort of chaos. It is very Funny. Well Saturday, I was like that with Dip! I was trying to stand tough! I made the declaration, I was the one that said no more dip but all I could think about was putting a dip in my mouth! Pocket Full of Sunshine would say something and I would just look at her because all I could think about was DIP! Finally, whenver she would say something I would respond by saying DIP, or I want a DIP, & hey, let's stop at the store so I can buy some DIP! It was crazy! All Pocket Full of Sunshine could do was look at me and laugh....... It was at this point she told me that I reminded her of those doggies! We both laughed because she had hit the nail right on the head.

Needless to say, I was able to restrain myself for most of the day. I did buy a can at the store on our way home, but walked around with it in my pocket for a long time before breaking! Almost 24hrs without a dip and I broke!!!!! Which lead to a couple more dips on Sunday.

I am a little disappointed in myself because I want to kick this habit. Today is a new day and I will try again. I wonder how many times I will make these silly declarations before it actually sticks? I can do this right????

We will see............. SQUIRREL!
