Our town is having a carnival. This is day 3 of 4 days. I live upstairs on the street where there is all the food. There is a caramel corn stand right across from me and I have been smelling it now for 3 days. I want some so bad. If I went and got a bag I would eat it all. I have come so close...all the rationalizing is taking place...Oh just do it...one time a year wont hurt...I could just start in fresh tomorrow...I would walk off the damage...but no...I am so far getting through it.

    Hang in there - if you get it you won't feel better. If you're anything like me you'll regret it and just want more unfulfilling junk!

    I'm the kind of person who would buy the bag and split it with someone... Usually my daughter who knows to eat it all or throw it away when she's had her fill. Maybe you could buy some and eat a little and throw the rest in a trash can that's outside your home?

    Umm, I would go eat it (well, *I* wouldn't because it's probably not vegan, but you know what I mean). It IS once a year. As long as you don't get some every day of the four days, no biggie. It's not going to do any damage.

    Just say to yourself - it won't taste as good as watching the scale go down feels (and although temporary- the sugar will spike your insulin and stall your progress) So...........Hang in there !

    Good Luck

    A treat every now and then is not a bad thing. If you deprive yourself of all of the good stuff that you enjoy when you finally get it you will over indulge which in the end will make you feel worse.

    Is caramel corn really that bad? It seems you could do a lot worse. Maybe go with someone so they can eat half of it. Great job for holding out so far but im just saying, if you really, really want some then have a little.

    Out of all the horrible food at carnivals, caramel corn isn't all that bad.

    Go for a walk. Or a run. Or some sort of work out. Then go have some! Ask them for half (even if you have to pay for it all it is still worth it) Don't deprive yourself, you have to live! Love yourself and good luck :)

    If you don't indulge a little, you'll feel deprived. Get some Caramel Corn! There are worse vices and it IS only once a year :)

    Go get a bag and eat half of it. Why deprive yourself of yummy goodness. Then just exercise off what you eat. It really is that simple.

    Try logging it into your food diary and see what it does to your numbers. Information is power! Once I see how bad a food I am craving really is, I'm usually no longer craving it quite so much.

    Every time I see something laying around the house I could binge on- I ask any of my relatives to take it home with them or eat it before I do. If all fails, then I will throw the item away before I inhale it and feel bad about myself after. Try to remind yourself how far you've come and all the hard work you have done, don't give up stay strong! :flowerforyou:

    Buy some and ask if they will just fill your bag halfway up.

    I give myself one day a week as a " treat" day. I get to eat that candy bar or whatever I am craving. This helps me to avoid temptations other days throughout the week because I know my " treat " day is coming soon.

    Dont torture yourself...get a bag and share it with someone. Then take an extra walk if you are stressing about it then its not good..just get it eat it walk it off move one. One "cheat" won't kill you the problem starts when you forget about the good eating habits and eat BAD every day.

    No one should beat themselves up if they have a slip up every now and then. It happens to everyone and that's damn okay. You seem like you have everything pretty under control.
