It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
(from She will be loved - Maroon 5)

Heard that song on the way to work this morning and that stanza has stuck with me since, Compromise that moves us along...you're deciding to forego your cheat till your birthday is a heck of a compromise my dear, also shows that you really are in control of the situation, being able to limit your cheat to one meal only, I admire your fortitude.

Keep on fighting the losing battle girl, you're doing a fine job so far.
