i have the most awlful urge to binge while going thru the check out lane after getting groceries. I do great shopping wisely making healthful choices but the lane has become a monster. the stinking candy bars!!!! so far in 2 3/4 mos i only caved and bought a bar one time and wouldn't ya know it - it was stale, but of course i ate it anyway. that was last week, now the monter has come alive and the urge is realy strong. This prob sounds rediculous to you guys, but to a past chronic bindger, i recognize the red flags wavy watch it girly girl, you are going to get bit. :cry:
thanks for listening

    Do they have a line at your grocery store that doesn't have candy? At ours there is a line that says "no candy or tabloids" because so many parents requested it so their kids didn't have to see all of that stuff. There is also (because I've recently switched to Wal-mart) usually a lane that only has gum and toys, no candy bars, and that helps me a LOT when I need chocolate. I've also found that if I let myself have a little (like one Hershey's Kiss), I can make it through.

    This is one rule I always stick to....NEVER grocery shop while hungry. It works.:smile:
    I always eat before I shop. ALWAYS!
