    I'm proud that I passed on some very very seductive brownies today! I saw them and made a quick exit after grabbing my green tea.

    I really really REALLY want a Kit Kat bar.

    Started my TOM yesterday, and I've been obsessed with the idea of eating one ALL DAY.

    There's a pharmacy just across the street from where I work, too. Could have made a quick trip across the street during my lunch break... but didn't. Ate soup instead.

    It helps that it's so freaking cold outside! :)

    I had a Butterfinger candy bar for a snack, and then the craving was SATISFIED! No sugar binge ensued, had a healthy dinner and stayed within recommended calorie allotment! SUCCESS!

    OMG- a co-worker was passing out Dove chocolate today- one of my weaknesses- and I turned it down- knowing I would have to put it on my calories and work it off later- I opted for a chocolate fiber bar instead

    Today I was proud that I turned away Dr Pepper.....my #1 weakness. I have a 2 liter sitting in my fridge & everyday I look at it & think "well just one glass" but know that I don't need it. I have 2 more days until I've been 2 full weeks without any & I plan to meet my goal.

    I turned away nothing today, but I stayed under my calories. Cookies and milk was sooooo worth the extra 45 minutes at the gym. :smile:

    Hi...Great topic....

    I work nights at a power plant, and coffee is this full-on CULTURE...A huge pitfall of mine has become flavored coffee creamers...all those lovely varieties! (chemically created of course)..

    I've counted the calories, and it can add up to literally the high hundreds, or even thousands of extra calories per day

    So.....I bought 1 % milk, and splenda, and I've had 2 cups tonight with NO CHEMICAL CREAMER!

    I'm proud of myself....9 more hours to go :)

    Great job! I started drinking more coffee since it supresses my apetite...and actually used Peppermint light whip cream instead of creamer...only 15 cals for 2 tbsp. Yes, "CHEMICALS " I'm sure...but great alternative to high cal creamer :)

    I was on a no chemical kick for a while...you would be suprised how many chemicals are in processed "anything!" crazy.

    Not food-related, but today I'm proud that I turned away laziness. When my alarm went off at 5:30 this morning I did NOT want to get up to do my workout -- especially with a sleeping hubby and animals surrounding me -- but I knew I'd regret it later today if I kept sleeping. Made for such a better day getting up and getting my workout in =)

    oh. my. gosh. i went to my favorite local italian restaurant with some work peeps and they ordered a couple appetizers for the table -- bruschetta made with goat cheese (yum!) and something cheesy and gooey called mozzarella en carozza (double yum!). i passed on both and stuck with a single slice of cheese pizza and a small salad.

    I was at Vons buying a salad for lunch and almost reached out for a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup candy!!!!! It was so tough because my mouth had already started watering. It was just sitting there next to the check out stand screaming, "BUY ME/ EAT ME!"

    like an earlier poster - i said no to sleeping in........I got out of bed at 5:30 and worked out!! a first for me! I threw out chocolates that were sitting in my kitchen that I was continually eating just because they were there.......and I declined snacks at work this morning that someone brought in.............Yesterday was not so good, but today I feel back on track.
