Poll: Where does your temptation live?
The pantry. I have to make sure I watch it with the Better 'N Peanut Butter. Never like pb much before surgery. Now I love PB2 and Better 'N Peanut butter. Not horrible for you but not something to over indulge in. And I have to watch myself with some protein bars.
Now my biggest challenge...not so much tempting now. We are more in a wrestling match now, this bit of deliciousness. It lives at the pizza place. It's a trigger food and one I just can't go near. None of that "I'll just eat the toppings" for me. I can't even really eat bread and I will still try to eat the crust. And then for the rest of the day...I try to eat anything I can that has a lot of carbs. Carbs carbs carbs.

My temptation lives in the drive-through.
I'm a professional baker and candymaker by trade, and I get very self conscious when people discover what I do, because I assume they're thinking, "Ahhhhh, that makes sense. No wonder she's fat." But in reality, I don't have much of a sweet tooth, and my own work had nothing to do with my weight problem.
My temptation comes when I am tired and worn out at the end of the day, and cooking seems like an insurmountable task. Or when I've spent all day working, and my kitchen's a mess, and it's easier to order takeout. Convenience fast foods are my biggest hurdle, and they're my biggest downfall. When I cook at home, it's always healthy, because I'm cooking for my kids as well. But when my energy flags and I don't have it in me to put together something myself, I always turn to the quick junk.
