Coffee deprivation

I did it!! Today I wanted very much to go to Alterra and get an iced mocha blanco with soy milk and whipped cream. I looked at the checkbook and thought 'we can afford it...only one more grocery shop to do before next payday.'. But I resisted! My first step. I didn't allow myself to have something JUST because I wanted it. Yay me. Instead I poured my daughter and myself a big cup of chocolate milk each- with straws and a touch of whipped cream. We toasted to the saved five dollars on the playroom floor.
