So this may sound dumb to some but I was cheering myself on! I stay home and my husband is a police officer. Well, he was home and lunch break and brought his Angus Bacon cheeseburger, 10 piece nugget, large fry and coke with him! This man is a stick!! Anyway, he had to leave quickly on a call and hadn't gotten to his fries yet. I started to clean up the kitchen and they were begging me to grab some ketchup and eat them! Welllll...I didnt!! After stepping on the scale at the gym this morning and seeing my 31 pound weight loss in less than 2 months I just could not! And I just finished a one hour cardio workout so I would be so angry at myself! I called him to share my story so I figured I would tell you guys too!

    Good job! That took some major will power. They probably wouldn't have even tasted good after such a long workout. I find that after i work out greasy stuff sounds gross. Way to go!

    Fries are my weakness! I haven't gotten to the point where I want to throw them away yet, so congrats to you for your will power!

    Tough workouts are the best way to help yourself develop and grow will power. And when you know hard it is to burn off 500 calories, compared to how easy it is to eat 500 calories...it puts things into perspective. Congrats!

    Thanks for the comments! I never knew how hard burning off all that junk was until I have to calculate it in order to eat!!

    Congrats!

    In order to toss something I think I would have to do what Miranda did on that one episode of Sex in the City. After eating cake out of the garbage can she realized how gross she was being so she poured soap and Comet cleaner on it.

    Not dumb at all, in fact that shows an amazing amount of self-restraint! I don't know that I could have thrown away fries. :tongue: Thanks for sharing your story. Maybe next time I have the opportunity, I will think of you and tell myself, "If she can throw them away, so can you!" :laugh:

    GREAT Story!!! That took will power but then again, when you start seeing those pounds coming off and you're working hard to make it happen you start to see those foods as your enemy....:noway: YOU CAN SAY NO!!!!

    Great job! When I have to have a fry I go for the spicy sweet potato ones. They are pretty darn delicious.

    That's awesome! I was shopping last weekend and drove by McDonald's and the air was filled with delicious fry-goodness and I was soooooo tempted to stop but I didn't. It's hard but you can keep on!!!
