The school run and the shop

Facing a dilemma going on the school run shortly and my boys always ask if they can go to the shop normally easy to say no as I don't tend to carry money, however today I need to go to get milk and some bits and no nowt I'll also see something sweet I want how do I just get what I need and avoid temptation especially knowing I have calories to spare today

Help please

    Can you bribe yourself with something else? I was having a really rough day but was able to stay under my calorie count by promising myself a new dvd that I really wanted. Anything you can give yourself that you normally deny yourself that doesn't have to do with food can be a reward - and motivation to not pick up that sweet. Just make sure it's something you can give yourself TODAY as instant positive feedback for being "good".

    Avoided the sweets instead got myself some fresh mozzarella to go with my tea a slight indulgence but worth it for added flavour
