I can now consider myself as having willpower. They filled the vending machines today and there was not enough room to fit all the chips in it so the guy left about a dozen bags of Doritos on the table for anyone who wanted them. Since I have to pass by the table on the way to the restroom 10 times an hour (love drinking the water), I had all the chips calling my name. It is now 3 hours later and I am proud to say, I Didnt Partake! The chips are gone and I can be proud to say, I have overcome a great big obstacle in my weight loss journey. Pepsi and Chips is how I got fat and out of shape. I havent had a soda since Christmas day. Now if I can just get away from the TV, the sky's the limit.

    Gosh thats so funny :-) not funny in a nasty way. I can just picture the scenes as you passed everytime. It must've been torture? Well done. I have a similar predicament on the cheese isle when super market shopping but never fail.

    Congratulations, that is quite the feat!

    I gave up chocolate for the month of January... even through my birthday (which I hadn't thought of when I set that goal). So, I will join you in saying that I too have willpower... for the first time ever.

    But, if we can do it once, imagine what we'll resist the next time around!

    I can relate! I'm the cheapest person and any FREE food is always tempting! Good job!

    I had a will power moment just last night that I'm super proud of. I made spaghetti for dinner. And pasta is my achilles heel when it comes to food. Instead of two heaping plates, I managed to survive with just a cup of that wonderful stuff! I know I said out loud at least twice, "step away from the pasta" but it worked! I could have ingested a weeks worth of calories in one sitting but I powered through and I feel great! :happy:

    Nice job Jin...Willpower is tough stuff. Trust me...when I hit my goal, I am going to munch on a bag of Dorittos. Only 9 lbs to go!
