Day 3 sugar check in

Well...it was still hard today, but I think I'm over the hump. I had been keeping the leftover M&M's in my car from that day I had them last week, but had just been forgetting about them. Until today. I was leaving work and it occurred to me that they were in my car. But I remembered you guys....I remembered my roller coaster ride....and I tried to dwell on the way I knew I would feel if I didn't eat them. I pulled out the bag...poured them out on the ground and STOMPED on them! Sugar free for 3 days now!

YOU ROCK, TOM! I hope that crushing them was very cathartic for you. You won and they suffered. EXCELLENT JOB! Kathy

Go, To-om! Go, To-om! Whoop whoop! I say, Whoop-whoop! Okay, that probably reads pretty cheezy, but I was cheering you on. WAY TO GO!

Good for you Tom! I'm sure the stomping process was very symbolic for you. Three days is fantastic! ~Wanda

WE'RE ALL HERE FOR YOU TOM!!!! YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! AWESOME!!! love ya, TJ

Tom, it is so funny that you said that about the stomping. The other night I stopped at my daughters place on the way home from work. She had a candy bar there and I took it with me (I said for my hubby) but on the way I opened it and took a bite..then two...(then I hurried and threw the rest out of the window) without giving myself a chance to change my mind!! Good thing I did, the two bites I took left me feeling a bit weasy!!!

I don't know if it felt quite cathartic, but I was really glad when it was over. This morning, on day 4, I feel a bit stronger about the whole thing. Of course, when you FEEL stronger doesn't always mean you ARE stronger, so I'll have to be on my guard today. Thanks to all of you!!!
