Ok, right now, August 16, 2010 at 9:20pm, I am making a promise to myself to QUIT buying candy bars and soda. Those are my triggers. I will go to the store to buy something else (even though that really isn't the real reason) and end up stocking up on candy and soda! AHHHHH! I'm DONE! I quit. I surrender. Whenever I wanna do that, i'm gonna go on here, and I'll realize I shouldn't... Now, I am gonna finish the soda I bought this afternoon, and freeze my credit card.

Good for you

Okay, about five thousand people just heard you make that promise, so you better watch out lady! We'll be on every corner.

Do you like diet soda? Yeah its artificial sweetner, but sometimes I need that sweet craving filled and a Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper or something can help!

We're gonna be watching you now!!! Think about that when you go to the store

That's a great commitment. Maybe you can take that couple of dollars a day and stash it in an account to buy a reward for yourself!

That is a GREAT idea!

Woohoo! You can do it!

I agree with punkrprincess though, I need diet soda (1 or 2 max) to help alleviate sweet cravings sometimes.

I also keep a bag of dark chocolate kisses in my desk. They generally last at least a month and at less than 20 calories a kiss its a good alternative to the vending machine. I can usually just have 1 and be good with a max of maybe 3 per work day.

Of course if these are triggers for you as well please ignore my suggestions.
