Okay after the gym this morning I stopped at 7/11 for coffee. The lady tells me “oh, with a large coffee you get a free donut”. I tell her no thank you and get out of there intact. Then I get to work and there are 4 dozen Krispy Kremes on the lunchroom table. The devil on my shoulder is saying “you can eat one and log it, you worked out this morning”, but the angel is saying “if you eat one you know what will happen, suddenly 3 more will mysteriously disappear and you’ll have an unexplained sugar rush”.

So far the angel is winning, but if I were making book the odds would be even.

    I feel for ya. Welcome to my world!! I have to fight that fight EVERY day. Keep drinking water, flavor it if you have to. Imagine those donuts covered with spit and shower drain hairballs. They won't seem quite so appealing! Good luck - I'm rootin' for the angel!!

    They only taste good for a second....then the guilt will emerge, then the sugar rush, more guilt, your body will hate you, more guilt, you'll beat yourself up all day over it, not to mention the GUILT!

    Fight the donut power! :bigsmile:

    imagine the angry worker who got up at 3am to make those krispy kremes and how he/she probably licked his/her fingers about 35times while putting on the glaze......

    does that help :)

    These suggestions really helped, but mostly it was knowing that you're all pulling for me.

    Thanks!!!!

    dont tell yourself that YOU CANT have it because it will make you want it even more.....tell yourself....maybe another day (even if that day does not come).
    OR just have one half....or even just a bite to get the taste in your mouth.....its all about portions as well!

    :flowerforyou: Good luck with your donut battle

    Get myself a set of dentures so that I can actually CHEW AND ENJOY salads.:ohwell:
    Right now, I have to use my front teeth to eat them :frown: What takes you 10 minutes to eat takes me 20. Drives me nuts.
