Last day of my long term sub spot and the fellow teachers brought all kinds of food. I've resisted so far but I hear those cupcakes just calling my name...
I've told myself one won't hurt, but I know I shouldn't do it. Any encouragement out there?

    You can do this, walk away. The cupcakes have the wrong name, they're not saying Kimmy, they're saying Jimmy.

    Distract yourself, drink a lot of water, remember why you started this journey! I feel your pain, I love cupcakes!

    Stay strong my sister!!

    I look to see how many calories are in the cupcake that usually turns me of them. If I have enough calories I might indulge as long as I can still have my dinner. Drink a glass of water so you don't feel as hungry and an apple to give me some thing sweet.

    I have an apple with me I can eat instead, and I just had lunch so I'm really not even hungry. It's just the fat girl in me screaming for that damn cupcake, but I WILL NOT eat it.

    How will you FEEL afterwards?

    You have a plan, and only you can stick to it, or adjust as needed. Although the sweetness may taste good for the 30 seconds to 1 minute it takes you to eat a small cupcake, the cravings for more sugar will last for hours....

    I'd say, get up and stretch your legs and get a nice 5-minute walk in..... :)

    Cupcakes ARE THE DEVIL!!!!! You hate the cupcakes. The cupcake isn't calling you, it is saying nasty things about you behind your back....and not even doing a good job of it. Don't give that cupcake the satisfaction.

    I know how you feel! my temptation is crisps (potato chips) the salt and the crunch, especially with a glass of ice cold wine!....I control myself by telling myself I can eat them if I want to...but then I'll have to work it off before bed, the cross trainer..then I'll find it's not worth it. Good Luck:wink:

    Does it fit into your daily intake? Maybe I am in the minority here...but I am here for a lifestyle change. And I will have one cupcake once in awhile. One cupcake isn't what made me fat. Intending to eat just one and eating 5 or 6 is what got me to where I was when I started this journey. Anyway...good luck with it. :)

    Whenever you are tempted think of how damn LONG it would take to work off that cupcake...it is only ever worth it 5% of the time to me. 250 calories appx for what ammounts to 25 seconds of enjoyment??? I would have to work 30-45 minutes for that!!!

    Is that cupcake worth THAT much of your time?

    NO you are in control of you, and that feels better than ANY stupid cupcake!

    I don't know if this is true but if she's new to her lifestyle change the sugar IS addicting and could send her into a frenzy for days. Not a good idea unless you're well established and disciplined in your overall healthy lifestyle.

    If you really have to, just cut a small piece off, put the rest back under lock and key.

    I agree! It's not the devil or evil...it's a CUPCAKE! don't give it power over you eat it if you want, just don't eat 10!:tongue:

    Thanks for all the support everyone, it's really great to see! It's not worth my time to burn it off that's for sure. I know if I give in to just 1 it will lead to more and more. Staying strong and resisting it!!

    That I can understand. Giving in after having just one and then having two...then three...then...yeah I get that. Good for you for knowing where you are at on your journey!

    They are evil. Dr Oz just did a show on how they are pumping chemicals into sugary foods & can make you as addicted to sugar as cocaine addicts are addicted to coke. So the less you eat of it the less you crave it.

    I never ate one and I was down on the scale today. I'm going to assume that wouldn't have happened if I had eaten the cupcake!

    Yay! That's great! Good for you. I eat these cupcakes that are only 120 calories that aren't gross sweet, but still really yummy called Sensibly Indulgent. I also like Hungry Girl's low cal cupcake recipes.
