Beat any temptations lately?

Its easier when its not even an option but something is tempting and we get past it is so empowering.

My daughter brought me two reeces cups.  Her boyfriend brought them for her but they both didnt want them because they are the carmel version.  Ive been squeaky cleans for month when I binged last weekend.  Actualy an extended weekend which was a bit scary.  Otherwise not one to be tempted but geez chocolate peanut butter AND carmel? 

My binge was on my mind and I realized how easy it could be to start stumbling if I didnt grab hold of this, the diet not the reeces.  It made it easy to pass them up.  Late last night had to drive her boyfriend home and again, now hungry had to ignore 24hour fast food - part of last weekends binge.  I just focused on eating when I got home. 

Im not cracking again this weekend in order to put that behind me.  Thought it might encouraging to hear of how others have faced the desire and beat it.

I've got a sore throat with a two-litre of Pepsi in the fridge, or a half gallon of milk.

As much as I'd like that two-litre of Pepsi to soothe my hot mouth, I'm waiting patiently for the bottle of water I put into the freeer to be nice and chilly, which'll feel even better than dealing with the carbonation of the Pepsi.

I don't like drinking water with a sore throat because it leaves a weird taste in my mouth, but I'd rather chase that taste with the snack Alex is bringing home to me.

I wanted warm movie theater popcorn last night, but instead I ate grapes, and eventually the craving went away.

my sister bought 3 musketeers and milky way bars and sour punch straws. i wanted some chocolate so bad but i just drank my low carb monster. we went to chinese, i wanted the whole egg roll but took a tiny bite. i also ordered the vegetarian delight, took what i knew i needed and then ruined the rest so i couldn't eat it.

I was on the student panel discussion today at school and as a "reward" we got lunch.  Jason's deli catered, and they are actually really healthy... except for the cookies... peanut butter, and oatmeal raisin....  they were calling my name...  I ran the other way promising myself to make splenda cookies when I got home.

OU Texax weekend = much drinking and eating but i managed to portion out my favoritetes to stay under my calories for both friday and saturday hooray!! <3

Thanks everyone for your posts.  Ive been squeeky clean and we re halfway into Sunday.  Granted Im not one to cheat but that weird cheat through last week has me being cautious and seeing out others good choices.

yesterday, I beat the temptation to skip dinner :D I really didn't have much of an appetite because I've been a bit stressed lately, but having dinner actually made me feel a LOT better. so go me. hehe

The husband and I went out to dinner Saturday night and I passed up Bananas Foster cheesecake for dessert.  There are not words to explain what an accomplishment that was for me.  But I know I want to see a loss this Friday at weigh-in ... and with the holidays looming in front of me, I need to really tighten my control, otherwise I'll lose it completely at Thanksgiving and Christmas!

hey just wanted to say you did a great job...chocolate and peanutbutter is my weakness too. so is carmel. thats why i've never had one of those new reese's. iknow once i taste it ill want it all the time!

also great job passing up the fast food on the drive home. i have to do that too sometimes. if im out and hungry, part of me makes excuses like "oh you'll be able to find something healthy!" but the reality is no...i wont. and when i can say no and make it home and then eat something delicious, it feel so great.

side note: quaker makes chocolate chip rice cakes, they HUGE and only 50 calories. they dont fill you up, BUT i thought maybe you'd want to try something fun: ever heard of better than peanut butter? its delicious. buy the low sodium one, it tastes more like real peanut butter. anyway, spread a tablespoon of that on a chocolate chip rice cake...100 calories of yummyness. if you dont mind going a little over 100 calories, get sugar free smuckers carmel topping and drizzle it on top, and you've got yourself a bigger, crunchier, more filling, healthier, lower cal version of a silly old carmel reeses pb cup. twice the size, half the cals. dig in 

sun123, what a timely thread!  I visited family the week before last and although I didn't "lose it" while there when I got home I was so tired I decided to give myself permission to eat whatever I wanted for the rest of the evening!  The good news it that I didn't enjoy the binge as much as I'd thought I would and my tummy was upset all the next day.  (Could it be my body's telling me it prefers to be healthy???)  Anyway, I started right back on my healthy eating plan on Sunday.  I'm beginning to trust myself to "stay on track", which is, as you say, empowering.

JJ :-) 

Oh, the joy of office celebrations... I walked into a meeting this morning, before breakfast to 3 dozen donuts from Dunkin...and there were more than enough of the blueberry cake donuts for more than  just me to have one.  I walked out of the room saying, 'i don't need that, I don't need that'...  I had to go back into the conference room, and of course there were still TWO blueberry cake donuts still there.  I said to myself 'I don't want to have to log that on my calorie count' and that pretty much did it for me! :D

Oh and for those who wonder, a blueberry cake donut from Dunkin Donuts : 290 calories... and I would have been hungry 45 minutes later! :D

I passed on warm out of the oven cookies at work yesterday then AGAIN at my bf's house. *happy dance*

I'm proud of myself, but sweets were never really my issue. It's crappy fastfood and salt. God, I miss chips.

I turned down homeade apple pie and ice cream at my moms over the weekend. Not because my willpower is great but because my husband got sick and I didnt have time to eat it haha but hey whatever works right?

i turned down homemade blueberry muffins yesterday morning. One of my coworkers brought them in so i just went and looked at them and smelled them but i didn't eat them!!!!
