So I had to go shopping at Costco today and of course the best time for my schedule was around 11:15am... Right at the beginning of sample time! Now normally I would try one of everything they had out and if I really liked it I would go back for a second try but today? Today I did not eat a single sample from any of the carts. No fried ravioli, no cheese and crackers, no chips, no brownies, nothing.

Instead I finished my shopping, and then had exactly what I had planned for my lunch which was super tasty. I know its not much of a victory, but I'll take it.

    Great will power! My husband loves to go to Costco for the samples. I am never tempted because I always feel they look at me and think "hey fat chick why are you eating this you do not need any more calories". Guess I should get over that!

    Wonderful work! Its hard to resist, especially before lunch time. :)
    (I've refused a few samples before--mostly because I was too lazy to log the calories!)
    Keep up the strong self-discipline!

    That is amazing! It is small lifesytle changes that will make the biggest difference. Congratulations and keep up the good work :)

    Haha I remember going there to get dinner by shopping and eating samples while doing so. I don't have a membership there but it was always something fun when with my mom and stepdad.
