Regret or sacrifice

On Monday nights I teach a class and the people bring snacks to this class to share. This week the family that had snacks choose pizza. Now I'm not real sure why but pizza is something I've really struggled with. Anyway all of the men stood up to get some pizza (that's a whole other page)and I thought to myself it'll be fine if you just have one piece. And the truth is one piece for me would have been amazing. You see I could easily eat 6. Then I looked around the room again and a few woman were up getting a piece or two one woman took 3 or 4 but 3 woman didn't move from their chairs. I looked at the crowd again and realized I wanted other things in life but pizza. I'm almost certain all the woman would have ate the pizza if it was magic calorie free pizza but it wasn't of course so they sacrificed the instant yummyness for something they wanted more. It was then I really was honest and said you know I really would have regretted eating that pizza. So I really had 2 choices regret or sacrifice. I watched the biggest loser last night not a show I regularly watch but I must say it inspired me. The lady who won said when dieting seems like it's got too hard you think of the day you had enough and started dieting just how hard was that day. I know the days leading me to this were overrun with regret and since I don't want regret in life anymore I MUST realize you have 2 choices. Regret or sacrifice it's for me to choose and then live with.
