Proud - thought I'd share

My boss decided to bring in a large box of cronuts into the office. For those of you who don't know, a cronut is a cross between a croissant and a doughnut and they are AMAZING!! I have to walk past them every time I go to the kitchenette/toilet. So I decided to go and buy myself a bag of salt/sweet popcorn (138kcals), which has curbed my desire to scoff the box of cronuts. Willpower in weight loss is so important - trying to stay strong

People bring in donuts all the time, I just walk past them. Probably helps that I don't care for the things.
Way to go!0 -
Great job with the willpower! I had a similar situation yesterday. A box of baked goodies was brought over. While I didn't fully resist (I did get a croissant) I only ate half of it and have saved the other half. And you know what? It really wasn't as amazing as I expected it to be
Keep it up0 -
A friend invited me for a coffe and In exchange of cappucino I asked for fresh mint tea. I declined for the Kit kat. I enjoyed my tea.0

I've found that there is a lot of satisfaction in "no thank you"! Especially since I've been able to lose weight. Plus, having to log a donut or a cupcake is defeating!0

Way to go! I work in fast food and when I got off of work last night my husband wanted to order food...which made me want food, but instead I went home to eat some low calorie cheese popcorn while he enjoyed his cheeseburger and fries! WILLPOWER!0

Will power is an amazing thing. Both my husband adn I are emotional eaters so when we have a bda day at work generally the first topic of conversationis what bad fast food are we pickin gup tonight. In the last week or so I've been doing much better in whatever we do end up getting I split into two so that I can spread the calories out over two days...which is a miracle for me two months ago I wouldn't of cared abotu havign to see that huge number come up on my food log, I would of just not put it in...we all grow and change no matter what age we are.0

Way to go!! There always seem to be temptation at work and your ability to resist is amazing!!0

Great work on sticking to your plan!
I totally would have ate a cronut! I really am dying to try one!0 -
At work is the hardest. When people bring in unhealthy things to share its difficult to resist, even more so when people ask "Are you on a diet or something?" when you decline those treats. My honest answers is that I'm trying to eat better. Keep up the good job!0
