Default Victory is mine!

I was grocery shopping and saw Cadbury's Creme Eggs in the aisle right in front of me- and I walked right past them! Regular and caramel too. This doesn't happen to me. When did I find willpower? I told myself that I really didn't need one of them, and I listened for once! Yaaaaaaay!

I'm finding it hard to walk by those peanut butter eggs. GREAT JOB resisting. Its nice to feel in charge of your body isn't it.

Yes, the Easter candy is a big pitfall for me. Personally, for me it's the Reese's PB eggs. Not the Christmas trees, mind you, even though it's the same, it's not the same. I don't know why. It's got to be the eggs. So I've just been looking hard at something else when I pass the Easter displays. Other than that, I just flat don't go down the cookie/candy aisle any more unless I'm trying to torture myself, like yesterday.

Anyway, congrats on passing up the Cadbury! Excellent work!

Congratulations Betty! That takes a lot of willpower. Keep it up!

Why oh why must stores carry Easter, Halloween, Valentine's etc. etc. candy for months ahead of time? I was in the drug store the other day and saw the Easter candy - it drives me crazy!
