I just had a long distance friend send me a WHOLE cheesecake today. I looove cheesecake, but when I had a slice I immediately felt guilty and really it did not taste as good as it used to! So I'm going to take it to work tomorrow and let everyone else enjoy it instead! But I won't let him know that!
My husband gave me a 1/2 lb chocolate bar, already. I'm usually pretty good with chocolate, not really craving it unless it's TOM. However, I've been avoiding sugar and starchy carbs and didn't think I was missing them until I put a square of that chocolate into my mouth. WOW, it was almost like a drug rush. I did give hubby a square and then got it right into the freezer, but it was tempting to down the bar in one sitting.
My husband won't buy me chocolate. Not because I ask him not to but because we don't celebrate valentines and also he doesn't give me food items as gifts.
Although I did get a gift this year, while we were shopping a couple weeks ago, we saw a Charlie Brown Valentine's movie which he bought for me and said I couldn't watch until Valentine's day. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to watching it
We also keep dark chocolate in the house so maybe a piece of dark chocolate will be dessert.
DH slipped and let me see the bag of Peanut M&M's he bought for me. In the right social setting (hanging out with family catching up) I can down a whole bag but when they are just laying around the house I do really well only eating a few a day.
**Shhhh, don't tell but I would have preferred a workout video or weights. Money is VERY tight here right now and I know the M&M's were cheaper so I am trying to be graceful about it.
If I had a man around and he bought me chocolates, I'd eat one.. then plead being stuffed. Take the rest to work with me on Friday and feed them to co-workers.
I would never yell at a man for giving me a gift, even if it was an inappropriate one. Don't want to stop the gift giving by scaring them
Just kidding. I know he won't. He's being awfully supportive right now after a fruitful talk. I think I got a Juiceman and an espresso maker, by request.
In the past I would have scarfed them all while watching trashy crime shows.
My MIL however sent home 10 pounds of Dove and Godiva dark chocolate with our son. No seriously, 10 pounds! Yikes! (I just told her *yesterday* about my recent weight loss success.)
What three year old boy do you know who has such extravagant chocolate tastes? Not mine. He likes tootsie rolls.
I think I'll do fine. I still have most of my Christmas chocolates in a bowl. I guess I'll just give them to a friend or take them to my office for my clients to enjoy.
He wouldn't dare! I have no doubt of it. But if some alien life form took over his body and he brought chocolate to me, I would thank him nicely, then tell him and the kids to eat up. He knows that I'm so close to my goal, I don't cheat unless it's something very very very special. Valentine's chocolate is just not that special.
I know I will get one of those cheesy big boxes of chocolate, because my husband always lets the kids pick out something and that's what I get -- they go right in the freezer -- so when I want one, I can have one (after a little defrosting) but can't possibly binge on them and yet my kids are happy that I "love" their gift!!
I'd say "Awww how sweet!" and mean it, because it's nice of someone to think of me. I'd then "accidentally" leave it at his place, and when he mentions it, I'd say "Why don't you go ahead and have a few? I'll get one later. "
well, being that me and DH have been fighting since sunday and aren't on talking terms, i won't be even getting a "happy valentine's" from him. even if we were talking, he wouldn't get me a damn thing. his excuse......"i'm too stressed to be thinking about that."
If my Dad can count as "he"(I'm much too young to date!), which I know he probably will, then I'll thank him and probably have just 1 piece every other day.
