As a teacher, I'm constantly surrounded my young, thin students who seem to be able to eat whatever they want and never put on weight. Since I started taking my health and weight loss seriously, I've asked my students not to eat in my classroom; I couldn't stand seeing all those half-eaten chocolate packets out on their desks and feared I would give in to temptation. You see, chocolate and candy were probably one of the main reasons why I'd put on 15 pounds in one year. :frown:

Well, today I was offered a piece of chocolate three different times by co-workers and students, and each time I found the strength to say 'no, thanks'. Of course I started out by rationalizing that 'one piece wouldn't hurt', but we all know that's not true - if I had said 'yes', I don't know if I would've been able to stop myself from falling off the no junk wagon completely.

Anyways, I'm proud of myself. Sometimes it's the little things that keep you going. :smile:

    I'm hoping the leftovers in our work kitchen magically disapear before I cave in! I'm trying - it's hard, I know what you are saying. Especially chocolate 3 times! Job well done - you've rightfully earned a pat on the back for that one (actually make it 3 pats on the back!) :)

    Congratulations! That's a big deal to have arrived at the point of consistently saying no. I'm like you. I recognize that I can't cheat and then not have it spiral into a problem. So really, good for you!

    Great willpower today. I passed up chocolate fudge cake today. I'm still thinking about it, but my butt is happy it isn't going to grow because I passed it up.
