Oh Temptation, why do you hate me so? *shakes fist*
So today I was with some friends in town, and the local supermarket was doing a special offer on tubes of pringles: Buy one, get two free. (Right? Why not add "+ free heart attack with every ten buys!")
My friend bought them ¬.¬ And I didnt have ONE <3
Veil, what a great thing to say, "yes!" to! I love reggae.
I said no to ice cream today (husband had a tonsillectomy so we have ice cream in the house) and then when I went shopping, I said no to 72% dark chocolate. I was very very close to rationalizing buying this item. On my particular diet, chocolate this dark is allowed in small quantities, but I need to break myself of this habit.
What I hope is that I can do this way of eating all the way to maintenance and THEN I can switch to eating small amounts of dark chocolate for treats. For now, I need to be strict to break my mind of the craving.

I literally found a Cadbury Cream Egg sitting by my front door (I am sure it belongs to one of my 4 children) I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these things. My eyes lit up, I grabbed it and started unwrapping it. But as I did I started thinking, do I really want to waste my calories on this or set myself up for failure the rest of the day.
I wrapped it back up, put it out of sight, and walked away! Whoo Hoo!
I said NO to cheese cake last night. and creme puffs. and sugery soda... (closing party after final night in kids school play) Whew. I feel so proud this morning, even though it was just a little victory.
I said no to doughnuts. I had a huge craving for doughnuts, or maybe pie, or maybe some kind of tarts. You know, one of those kinds of cravings where you just want some kind of dessert.
Instead, I bought a bunch of healthy protein and energy bars---they are still sweet, and help me with the whole wanting something sweet and crunchy, but I don't think they are as bad as having a slice of pie or deep fried dough.
I said no to buying doughnuts and cheetos. I really wanted them, but hadn't tried them before and didn't want to buy something I may end up not liking.
I said "No!" to going out to eat with my family to get hamburgers and fries for dinner. I heated up some left-over chicken and noodles (with broccoli and carrots) instead, and it was delicious! And then I had a banana with a tablespoon of peanut butter as a snack.
