I can't believe I did this...

I went to the candy aisle to get something chocolatey and i stood there, told myself, "NO this will not help anything!" I turned around and walked out of the aisle, paid for my eye drops, and left the store. VICTORY IS MINE!

For those who don't know, Sugar is my vice, i was completely addicted to that and caffiene. I kicked caffiene thanks to gallbladder surgery and now i'm in the final stages of kicking the horrible "I GOT TO HAVE ALL The SWEETS" syndrome.

I am so proud of my self i had to share, if i can do that you can too! That sugary candy bar will not fix your problems, it is a temporary fix that does you no good. I know there is good chocolate, but Snickers is not one of them

This seems like such a small thing but its not. It's a HUGE victory. Anytime you can stare your Kryptonite head on and not get weak, not give in, you've won a battle. Hats of to you!

Big, huge congrats on that!!! For people who love sweets and/or chocolate....walking out of that aisle without anything is a huge deal. Kudos! I've done it myself at times and even then, I think about it on the drive home....all the way telling myself I'm better off without the sugar/calories/fat. Crankier, maybe....but more optimistic long-term! :laugh:

Way to go!!!!!

I had a lady stop me one aisle over to tell me "Good job on passing by the candy." I had been standing in the candy aisle looking it all over, shook my head, and kept going. Apparently she saw the whole conversation I had with myself. LOL

Good job!

I had a hard time with buying candy after fueling my car. I still struggle now and then. But my body and my budget are better off without!!

that is a true success...willpower and having the mental stamina to overcome an urge are what this all boils down to. CONGRATS

Thank you everyone for the kudos! It means alot to me to know people care ^_^

You know what, that one experience has given me more willpower to resist candy and other sugary goods! I keep telling myself that, "Hey if you could stand in the candy aisle at Walgreens for 10 mins and NOT buy any candy, you can make it through Walmart and the gas station!"

And this is actually working! I can't believe this! ^_^lml
