Cupcakes and cookies in the Office Vending Machine!

Bumdrahp

Ok.. so.. I aaaaalmost gave in and bought a pack of Hostess cupcakes in the vending machine in the lunch room. I wanted it.. ohhh did I want it.. but ALL I could think of was " crap.. i'm going to log this.. and it will probably be 500 calories"... The temptation is just pure evil... THE CREAM FILLING!!! * dies* YES I know i can occasionally treat myself.. but when you buy a pack of two.. how can you eat just one? They both SCREAM * eat me I taste like heaven, rainbows, and sunshine dust".. At least I didn't do it..

At least I didn't do it..

I am all for moderation and not depriving yourself of things... but in this case I say dont do it. Couple reasons.. first if you're going to spend that many calories on a treat make it worth while! Second... because it's so conveniently located in your office it will become harder to resist each time. (IMO)

They sell those 100 calorie packs of those kind of cupcakes. If that is your weakness, I say have those instead! Good luck!

those 100 calorie packs do NOT taste the same! LMAO! I mean I will treat myself.. and I don't 100% deprive.. but, I just know I will feel ultimate defeat if I bought those peanutbutter cookies in the vending.. or those hostess cupcakes.. the eaters guilt is severe! lol

Keep fighting!!! my boss brings donuts once a week and last week i couldnt help but eat one, i logged it and it was 800 calories!!! Resisting is hard but so worth it!! you need rewards... But not enough to ruin your progress. Try filling snack sized ziplock baggies with goodies like yogurt pretzels or mini cookies, that way you can only eat a little. Make you own 100 calorie packs!

I don't take change or dollar bills to work - nothing to use in the vending machines. I can stare, lick and drool on the glass, shake it and pound on it with my fists, but I still don't get anything out of there.

I had the dollars in my hand.. drooling on the glass.. and then I put the money in.. and pressed the Quakes Caramel Crisps instead....all while looking at those cupcakes.. lmao

They installed card readers on the ones here. :happy:

There are 181 calories and 6 grams of fat in just 1 Hostess Cupcake & it was probably a double pack, so good job not giving in.

It was a double pack of deliciousness..MmMMm.. But.. thank goodness I didn't buy them!

I just ate HALF of a Crumbs Bake Shop S'mores cupcake and congratulated myself on walking away from the other half...I hope when I walk back into the kitchen to refill my water that it's GONE!!!

Bumdrahp

Good for you for only eating half!! I too have found myself doing the " half" thing just so I can get a taste.. but I'm not there 100% yet.. I can;t fully trust myself. I'll talk myself out of it and then go back for just " a taste" more.. lmao! I'm getting MUCH better though!
