AM I CRAZY????

Ok I don't think I'm but this is what happened. My boss gave each of us a snickers with a balloon on it yesterday for an appriiciation thing. I know why CANDY??? I wasn't tempted yesterday but today I gave in and cut me off a little piece this morning and put it away. Well this afternoon that candy bar was calling my name. I had to go thought it in the garbage. It gets harder as you get farther out. I never ate sweets the first 6 months but now I really have to beat the temptation. I guess what ever I have to do to beat it I will. So does anyone else have any stories about trying to beat temptation? Melissa 337/195/170 5'10 7 months out. 25 to goal!!!

You're certainly not crazy, Melissa. We all do it at some time or another. My big temptation was creme puffs from HyVee. I love them & thought I could just take a bite & get rid of the rest. I also don't dump but I sure did on 2 creme puffs. Yep, one bite led to a whole creme puff & that one led to two. I haven't allowed myself to try again, not because I dumped but because I know I'd like it too much to stop. You know I think it's kind of crazy to give food but everyone does. In a way, I feel that my boss should consider what I had done & not tempt me, but at the same time, I'm glad that he isn't singling me out or even remembering that I once was different. I work an odd shift so when they have recognition that includes treats I usually am given a gift card from Pizza Hut. Nice gesture but I don't eat pizza anymore either. I just smile, give my appreciation & give it to my son. Dixie

Welcome to the team, yes it is more difficult the further out you are. Your mind will play the oh one bite won't hurt trick on you. I can't say as I have figured out what to do instead, because I do occasionaly eat the wrong things. I have trouble maintaining my weight I tend to loose to much, so I think oh well this won't hurt it will help me maintain. I don't dump on sugar or anything I have found as of yet. One thing I do try to do is I make the protein balls with p.butter and sf honey or splenda that seems to work for my sweet tooth. And isn't bad for me either. I wish you the best of luck fighting this monster. You have done great so far you will accomplish this also. Feel free to come and vent or email me anytime you want some support. I am always happy to listen. Cindy
