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!

    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!

    Great job! I have a problem when my roommates bring junk food into the house...but usually they will give me a few fries and my craving is gone.

    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:
