Things I Didn't Eat

I'm staying on track.  

 I'm resisting temptation.  

 It's not always easy.  

 So, to celebrate my little victories, I am taking pix of the things I am able to resist.  Here are a few from last week while I was in Houston for work:
This sweet treat I was gifted went right into the trash.  


These snacks they pass out in first class.
