Trying to Avoid Unhealthy Food

In my life, I have always had a hard time avoiding food. If I was offered food, I would eat it and I would eat it in copious amounts. I have been eating healthier for the last few months but I made a big step last week. Someone bought me a box of Candy Corn Oreos. I ate one and I loved it. The old me would have ate the whole box in one sitting. However, after my friend left, I threw out the box. It was hard for me to do but I find that I can't have unhealthy foods laying around in my apartment. It was a big moment for me and I am glad that unhealthy foods have less power over me now.

    Awesome NSV! Finally someone else who doesn't feel bad about throwing away food that isn't that good for you. My whole family has a problem with this- thinking that it is wasteful but really the food does not NEED to be eaten just because it is there.

    Those Candy Corn Oreos though are amazing... throwing them away must have been dreadful. Great job!

    Im dealing with this right now.. the guys at work put a nice big box of "worlds finest" chocolates at my desk... so on the back of the box i ripped out a pic of a chick with abs from my fitness magazine and taped it to the box, so that is what i see if i even glance toward that box! so far so good! LOL

    Good job on not succumbing! I just had to throw away my pie that I made the other day after I had like three pieces in two days. Way too tempting to see every time I go in the fridge!
