Interesting Challege For Ya
Hey all,
You might have noticed the quote in my sig line. I was thinking about the subject of temptation last week realized that I seem to get tempted ALOT with foods that I know aren't part of my goals. (I don't believe in "bad" food, lol)
So I grabbed a notebook and took it with me everywhere I went last week with this goal:
Write down every situation where I am offered, of have available for free foods outside my meal plans. Anything I buy or pay for doesn't count and I can't ask someone else to buy it for me.
Hold onto your shorts...
In five days (four of them at work) I had the opportunity to eat something outside my own meal plans, for FREE, 61 times!!!
Some of those foods include:
Dunkin Donuts (work)
Donuts (Church)
Crispy Creme Donuts (work)
Carmel Corn (Les Schawb)
Lasagna (work)
Cheese cake (Costco)
Shortbread Cookies (Costco)
Biscotti (a friend at Starbucks)
Other places I was offered food were: Church, My father's nursing home, the bowling alley, the gym (sheesh!), my wife's work, two gas stations, and my God-daugters nursery.
The list goes on an on! Holy Schmollies!
I'm going to keep this notebook and the next time some dimbulb tells me how easy I've had it, I'm going to show them the list and ask if they know any alcoholics or drug addicts (I consider myself a food addict) that could turn down 61 opportunities for a free hit, pill or drink every week!
I'm going to track again this week, trying to estimate the amount of each sample and at the end of the week I'm going to add it all up and see how many calories, carbs, and fat it would have added to my diet.
In "The Day" I never passed up the opportunity for a free munchie!
You might want to try this, it was quite an eye opener.
Blessings,
