I resisted potato salad with our garden burgers tonight and now I'm resisting a beer because I don't have enough calories for one.

Peanut butter cups. I was wanting one this morning and show up to work and I work a lane that had a ton of them in it. Thankfully it was nonstop at work so I didn't really notice them. But it seemed like every customer was buying some. But I survived without eating one or any other candy.

It's only 10:43 am here, but I resisted a high calorie granola bar & a cookie. I fixed my craving by having fruit instead!

I avoided an intense temptation last night. My mom, brother, husband and myself were getting picked up from the airport by my dad. Thinking we might be hungry he picked up two foot long fried chicken sandwiches (extra fries no vegetables), three large orders of chinese food with rice, 1.5 pizza pies and four mini fruit pies. My husband immediately texted me (so we wouldn't insult my dad) "don't you dare touch anything." I am so happy he did because without that reminder I would have been all over that food. It was late when we got back so I slept at my parent's house. When I woke up and went to get breakfast I found that they pretty much had every kind of food I don't buy as a rule. They had Bisquick pancake mix with real maple syrup, PB&J, pasta with parmesan cheese and sauce, Ben and Jerry's and trust me the list goes on. I had an apple with a cup of mint tea because I honestly was not very hungry. I ended up eating the broccoli out of the chinese chicken and broccoli but I didn't touch the orange chinese chicken which was twice fried and covered in a sugar sauce. But wait people, it gets better. Later that night I went to the US open with my husbands family. They are all "foodies" so of course they brought knishes and sandwiches not to mention all the beer, pretzels, ice cream etc... there was to buy at the match. I bought a water and focused on the game. Later my husband and I burned 500 calories at the gym. Is it possible to be proud of yourself yet hate yourself at the same time (proud because I feel thin, hate myself because I wanted all that yummy food)? I feel like the weight loss gods should make me automatically lose 10 lbs just for that willpower alone.

WOW, ADL, that is IMPRESSIVE!!!! Way to go!!!! With determination like that, you can do anything!! You are inspiring!!

CAKE. Someone at my workplace brought cake for the afternoon snack, and I resisted going upstairs to the kitchen to partake. I'm very proud of myself- usually I eat any sweet snacks that people bring in.

This morning at work, Indian fry bread, the size of my head. And this afternoon after the gym I really really wanted pizza with big hot cheesy squishy crust and a cold beer. Instead I had Digorno 200 calorie pepperoni pizza, Caesar salad and a diet dr pepper. Not exactly the same, but the Caesar salad rocked so I'm content.

one of my staff brought a box of girl scout cookies to work...my Very Favorite Kind!...i could have eaten the entire box in a minute...but i had two cookies and got busy doing something else and then the cookies were gone

There is a smorgasboard of crap in the break room right now; S'mores pie, Ritz crackers with meat and cheese, chocolate chip cookies, tortilla chips and homemade taco dip.

I'm not actually struggling with any of it, but I'll admit that those buttery Ritz crackers and S'mores pie look pretty delish!

We make pizza at home once a week and I'm resisting a second piece. Only one for me tonight!
