Easter
Yup. Candy has a strong draw on me these days, mostly because I'm so stressed. I get really tempted to buy a chocolate donut or a croissant, or a whole chocolate cake, or a bag of M&M's, or a bag of jelly beans. Then I remember how it felt to be obese, and not able to walk across the room without pain, and wearing 6x clothing, and needing the CPAP, and not fitting into an airplane seat, and the danger of having a fatty liver. And I ask myself. "When will it stop? If I give in today, and wake the carb monster, when will I stop eating junk?" And I know it will only get harder, and I'll lose all I've gained. And I walk on by.
It is so not worth it to eat that stuff. I can be happy with my buffalo chicken, and my broccoli slaw, and my chicken and broccoli. I don't need to eat things that will hurt me.
