Candy bar NSV!

DH brought me home a 3Musketeer. I had some leftover calories today but wasn't hungry. I knew I wanted the candy bar because it would taste good. However, the whole candy bar would have put me over calories.

So, I decided to half it. I walked away getting the taste I wanted, feeling satisfied, and having no guilt.

It feels great!

    Love it!!! I used to make fun of people who could eat a half a candy bar and then stash the rest away for later (ok, jealousy??). But now, I'm hoping to become one of them!!!

    OMG I know how hard it is to not eat the whole thing! I did that with a skinny cow ice cream cup a week or so ago and I was proud of myself! It makes you feel great!

    I know it's hard to do that. Sometimes I've found if I'm really really craving something, if I can eat half slowly, I don't want anymore. I can also talk myself into having to work extra hard at the gym if I have that item. (which I don't want to do!) Good Job!

    Not getting why your husband would bring a candy bar home?? It would be like bringing a 6-er home to a recovering alcohlic.. Did he not know you're trying to loose weight? Bring some flowers instead and work a few calories off in bed!!

    That is why I love mini's, I absolutly love the dark chocolate Dove candys. I have learned when I am craving something sweet I can eat 2 and I am satisfied. It is great once you learn self control!! Like that old saying says "moderation" is the key to success.....I try not to deprive myself because I feel like I am being cheated and that is when my secret binging occurs!! Great job, keep it up!!

    I'm ok with the candy bar. I love 3M's and glad he thought of me.

    I need to learn to not avoid 3M's (or any other food). I need to learn to manage them.

    And flowers just don't taste as good. ;)

    Good job. It's all about the decisions we make and yours satisfied that taste without going overboard.
