I WANT Nachos!!!!

I am craving Nacho's so bad tonight... my hubby is sitting here munching on his late night snack as usual and I am wanting to make some cheese sauce up and some jalopeno's (sp?) up and dunk in my baked nachos... I know I shouldn't and especially this late at night.... So I am taking the advice of someone that commented to me last week and posting BEFORE I indulge.... I am going to stay strong and probably just go to bed early tonight... but I really felt the need to post my craving tonight to help me to stay on track and stay away from the craving..... Thanks to all for listening to me ramble about my craving.... I will get up in the morning and have my protein drink and be on track for yet another day..... I needed this little rant.... LOL.... Hugs to all, Shawn M.

Shawn: Good job at not falling to the monster. Great idea and will power. I wish I would have taken that advise but oh no not me.............. I do so good during the week then Sundays come with in-laws over and I go back to my emotional eating then it all starts. Sio Monday is here and now its time to get back on the scale.......Best of luck to you for the rest of the week. Keep up the good work.

Just excuse yourself when the in-laws are there, to go to your computer and post... and then you won't be as tempted... it worked for me tonight... I am off to bed and I did NOT have my nachos... LOL... try it .. it works.... Good Luck on next Sunday... Shawn M.

This is a great idea-post before you indulge! I just wanted to support you in your success as you have been a big support to me. The way I look at it-I tell myself I can have it tomorrow-as part of my meal if I still WANT it. Usually the feeling will pass-thank GOODNESS. If it doesn't I add it to lunch or dinner. Hang in there!! Hugs, Therese

I am glad to hear that your method seems to work.. I don't think that would work for me... I just have to let the feeling ride itself out... LOL.... I can't believe I am such a support to anyone... Thank you for the compliment... I know I find tons of support here myself, but never really thought of myself as being much of support to anyone... that made me feel so good tonight before I went to bed... Well, good night and good luck for the wek.... I am sure you will see that scale drop again soon.... Shawn M.

Shawn- I LOVE THIS IDEA!!!!!! Good job! It sounds like it worked hugs, Britt

Thanks Britt!!! It sure did work.... You will be seeing more posts like that from me... I am sure of it... If it keeps me away from the indulgence then I am going to do it... I know some other boards will rip a person apart for even suggesting eating something we shouldn't, but I know I can come here and get the support I need. I am so glad to have this board and everyone here to lean on when I need it... Shawn M.

We will have to make a print out that say's "POST Before you INDULGE. That is a good saying. Don't cut yourself down. Everyone on this board is such an inspiration, I have been reading these board for 9 months and this past week is the most I have ever posted. You all are so INSPIRATIONAL give each of yourself a Have a GREAT Day.

When I want something like that I force myself to find out exactly how many calories are in them. Not just in one serving but in the whole amount that I know I will eat if I get started. It works almost every time!

LOVE THIS IDEA TOO! YOU ladies rock
