It Was Worth The Fight!
At my house it hasn't been just the carb monster-it was getting to be carb hell. I was reverting to the seefood diet (you know the one-see food, eat it) and I wasn't happy.
So last night hubby and I are mindlessly eating carbs when I realize what I am putting in my mouth doesn't even taste good. So.....
I convinced hubby to let me throw out ALL the opened carb packages (and there were lots) and donate the unopened ones to a food bank. We actually threw out an entire large kitchen garbage bag of crap!
Of course, he sees the money down the drain-I see our stomachs getting smaller. I win

I agree, you won. Every battle makes the war easier to win. Hurray for you. 
I think I am very lucky that my DH and I have different additions. He can have his in the house and it doesn't bother me at all.

Price,
You are lucky. Larry will eat anything! And I finally realize that he is an emotional eater, too. Since he has always been small, I don't think anyone ever noticed. But we are on track now. In fact, I joined a new gym and just got a personal trainer. Of course I haven't actually told Larry about the trainer yet! LOL

I know it'salways going to be a struggle with those carbs. As they say, the surgery didn't fix our heads. There are some things I can have in the house and leave alone and others I just can't.
Snacks at work have also been a challange--especially the halloween treats. Thank goodness its located in our kitchen--so I try to avoid that area except to get my lunch out of the frig.
My head is in a good place right now, so I'm going to make the best of it and work on getting a couple of those creeper lbs back off.
Good luck. Sounds like you've made a good start.

Bravo!! Re-losing weight that you've already shed once is way more costly than that bag you dumped. I recently had to dump a big bag of pistaccio nuts because I was looking forward to my 1 ounce a day way too much! Sometimes the mental obsession is just as bad as the hand to mouth one. I have to keep carbs out of my house because I'd be trying to figure out how to get them into my daily food plan. I am far less likely to obsess over a chicken breast!
Good job!!
Good job!!
