The Temptation!!

[melgirl1120]

Today I brought cupcakes to my son's preschool class for his birthday, I bought them so that it wouldn't be much of a temptation for me. Well we came home with 8 left. They sat on my counter until I walked by for the 5th time and ended up throwing them away.

Now its after dinner and we are having a little party with a little cake. I would REALLY love a piece but know that it will ruin my efforts that I have put in for the last 2 months.

I guess the point of my thread is to vent a little, Its just 1 of those days where you could really use a slice of cake

Cupcakes & cookies & cakes...oh my!! You have come far, Sister Grasshopper, when you can throw away cupcakes. And that's exactly why I felt the need to post about the cookies in my world today. Seemed like if I wrote about the inner struggle, along with the positive things I feel about this woe, that it would help keep me focused on my new path of cookie-detachment.

And good for you! sounds like you are bipping right along with the weightloss... yeah.. why would we want invite one ounce back, after we have been so presto-chango amazing and made them disappear???

Next time see if you can leave the extras there for the teachers. At my daughters school they welcome you to leave any extra treats, and the teachers love when you do.

Yup, thats the minute by minute thing we all know to well. When I really want something bad I try to give myself a treat in a different way, or I make something Atkins's friendly that is really decadent. Around that lovely time of the month when I want something sweet I do the clouds. The cinammon, whipped cream cheese and splenda- only I nuke mine for about 10 seconds and eat warm. It really satisfys that sweet tooth. I also tell myself that I fed my face until I was fat, and I spent a lot of years being fat. Now I can stand some "deprivation" in order to feel good about my body again. Good going on your determination! If you can avoid cupcakes and cake, what can't you do!!
