    Yesterday I went to the Tuscan Market in Salem and didn't let myself buy any of their massive pieces of carrot cake, ricotta cake and cheesecake...

    Bless your heart...you should've eaten a piece, then you wouldn't still be obsessing about it;)

    Eating everything everything I wanted just so I wouldn't obsess over it is how I gained 20lb.

    Will power is how I've almost shed 20lb.

    Guess I just haven't figured it out yet...sigh. Going to burn extra calories so I don't have to turn down my favorite treats...

    If I actually want it, then I'm having it. Calories be damned. I turn down NOTHING.

    As we speak, there are two square cupcakes with cream filling - perfectly sealed and prettily packaged with the E! Network logo - in a fridge 30 feet from my cubicle. This is really mild consider we were once offered cupcakes 3 times in one day on my first week of MFP. Oh the willpower.
    So, all cupcakes. Ever.

    Yesterday I turned down cake and ice cream at the office. Any time someone leaves, we get cake and ice cream. I really wanted it. But I knew the cake was going to be just lame grocery store cake and I'd be disappointed if I did eat it - and then I'd have to atone for those stupid, lame tasting calories. I can also have ice cream any time I want, so why have it at work?

    I should totally bake a cake soon. Then I'd get to have some much better tasting cake that would be worth it :)

    Isn't that the worst? Those cakes always LOOK so good. But then you're recording the calories and thinking "Those can't seriously count. They didn't even taste good!"

    ^^^ I usually live by this, but that cheesecake would have been my daily calorie intake for like... 3 solid days. Hahaha.
    You wanted the whole cake? o.o

    Agreed. Those cakes are always so disappointing, it just makes it easier to say no to them.

    Today is National Doughnut Day and every doughnut shop is giving away free doughnuts. Thank goodness DH said we don't need them, because that would be hard to resist...

    You just HAD to go and tell us that, didn't you?

    Thank you EVER so much for that.

    All of them. I'm on the final six weeks of reaching a goal before vacation, and am motivated to hit the mark. Once I do, I'll reward myself with something--maybe Chinese food? Until then, the closest I'll come to empty calorie food is a child's scoop of vanilla ice cream tonight while out with friends who want to get ice cream. If I could figure out a polite way to turn that down, I would.
