If only the thought really did count

Met Ma for a swim today. She is in need of regular exercise (CRASH! there goes another glass house), so I said I'd meet her at a swimming pool halfway between us. The pool proved pleasantly warm and underpopulated, and Ma and I paddled about very happily for half an hour. Afterwards, we picnicked on sandwiches, figs and pears in her car, and decided that this was one habit worth getting in to.

So the half a bar of chocolate I just ate doesn't really count, does it?

No, of course not!
And you can always say, that it needed to be out of the house, s.t. it can't tempt you anymore... what else could you do, but eat it?

Elaine - you are too kind. Instead of 'brag', try 'lie'.

Yr Maj. - so what do I do about the two bars of chocolate I just bought?

I'm doomed.
