been a rough week...

ok so I have come here to confess, 4 kids and easter got the best of me. I have no self control around candy. IT HAS TO BE OUT OF MY HOUSE! I have told the kids Sunday night is 1 week, anything left goes in the trash. too often this week I have not had the ability to tell myself no. I feel like crap.

I have learned to be the same way. My kids complain when they visit because they say I have no food. I refuse to load my house with junk for them. I will buy a meal to prepare or take them out. Any leftovers have to go home with them.

Di - Don't be too hard on yourself, at least you realize it's got to go!!!  I give everything we don't want to my brother to take to work.  I agree - chocolate + Tia = evil! Tia

I know what you mean as I am sure almost %99.9 of female population on this board feel the same as us. A friend on OH was complaining about the same thing as well as Girl Scout Cookies. I wrote her my friend was apologizing last week for forgettign to deliver my kids' scout cookies and I answered her, "honey take your time!" I give them to DH to take to work because I have to admit I usually don't trust myself even if I put it in my desks at work. The joke was on me since last year i used to work with him in the same place and coworkers laughed at me how different does that make? I answered: "well at least I have enough self control not to go to his office and grab it from his desk! This year, as soon as it comes, I will have to give it either to him or my thin niece.  My point is as Tia said, don't be too hard on yourself, this is how our life is going to be, we have made the most amazing choice in our life (you are already on your way and I am barely at the door!) Hopefully you realize you are already an inspiration to us newbies (sp?) Ellie

Thanks ladies- I am trying not to be so hard on myself, but I hate myself for giving in. Once again, I feel like I failed.  Less than 24 hours to go, and its gone. I told them the Easter Bunny will bring them fruit next year! ;)

Please don't be so hard on yourself. You should congratulate yourself and be proud that you are doing something about it. Pre-weightloss surgery, my idea of getting 'rid' of the candy would have been to eat it all. Now you are strong enough to get it out of the house and not into you. So good job is what I say and be proud!!
