Avoided Temptation!

  • Okay - so I'm here at work and I go to the vending machine to get a Diet Dr. Pepper...but the food vending machine is also calling my name...and they have the 'light popcorn' in it...usually it's the regular butter flavor and i won't even think of buying that...it's like 10-12 points...but the light butter is only 4.5 points...i was so tempted...i even put in my dollar bill...(we won't even get into the fact that I have a mini-bag of light popcorn sitting at my desk waiting for me for my afternoon snack...)

    But I thought some more and realized that this is one of the reasons why I've gained back 7 pounds in the past 2 months...from vending machine weaknesses!! I pushed the change return button and got back my dollar bill...

    I'm very proud of myself...now I just have to make it through another 4-5 hours before I go home. But I still have my baby bag of popcorn and one more apple to snack on!!

    Wish me luck
  • Good for you!
    I hate those evil vending machines too!!!
  • HI! Contgrats on leaving the popcorn in it's place - THE VENDING MACHINE!!! I wish I could say the same for myself and have left the Whopper I had for lunch at BURGER KING!!

    Keep up the great work!!
  • GOOD JOB!

    So far this Monday I have had to take detours around secretaries bringing in donuts and a huge cake for the bosses birthday. I swear it never ends but KUDOS to you on passing it up~!!!!!

    Someone here said (sorry I forgot who) "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"
  • I used to have the same problem, lucky for me they don't put any of my favorites in the vending machine anymore, and the pop part is hidden so I only crave a pepsi when I see someone else drinking one.
  • Congrats! The vending machine was definitely my nemesis for a long time - it feels so good to beat it - way to go!
  • Good for you Emily!

    STEP AWAY FROM THE VENDING MACHINE.

  • Good for you Emily! There's a candy machine 2 doors down from the store I work in, and I know how it is when those things are calling your name.
  • You can do it Lucky!!!
  • WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!
    WTG on avoiding the evil snack machine!

    I got to the point of not bringing change to work. So, when the evil machine called my name, which it did daily, I couldn't respond!
  • Way to go, Emily! So glad you won the battle over that machine!!!
