When you start eating these little morsels of goodness, it is so hard to stop! They taste sooooo good and they are usually a really BIG weakness of mine. The other night I went to a craft/scrap night at a friends' house and someone brought 2 bags of Cadbury Eggs to share. At first I thought to myself- I can have a few and it won't really make that big of a difference, right? Well, I decided to try and not have ANY. I just snacked on the carrots and low-fat dip that I brought and the salsa and tortilla chips that were there. And guess what? I made it through the night without eating ONE SINGLE EGG!!!! I was so proud of myself and I think it paid off because I thought for sure that I was going to gain this week, but I ended up losing a pound! Yay!!
Moral of the story: Be strong in the presence of temptation and it will pay off!

Those are my weakness too!! I wish I would have been stronger like you, I totally caved and it shows!! The 1.5 lbs. that I lost earlier in the week, totally gained it back. GRR!! Thanks for the post and the reminder to be strong!
ReplyDeleteYou are a stronger woman than me. I finished the last ten in our bag yesterday. Pretty sure I am not losing any weight as long as there are any in my house. I am proud of you.
