I am a substitute teacher who is constantly tempted by the treats in the teachers room! Well, the Holidays are coming and so are the tempting sweets. 42 lbs ago before I began this journey to become a healthier me I was a compulsive over eater, a junk food junkie and sugar and sweets were my drug of choice. I practiced anything BUT moderation!!
Well, I am going to say that I am NOT going to let my past determine my future. That was the OLD me and today the NEW me shined bright and proud!
This morning when I arrived at school there was some blueberry cake ( I LOVE ANYTHING WITH BLUEBERRIES!) AND of course the tempting Majic bar with the graham crust, gooey chocolate,nuts and coconut!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!
At first the little ole devil in me from the past tried the "oh just a small piece of each and count it game" but then the NEW me said " Don't fall for that! It's a trap!"
I knew I wanted my wonderfully comforting homemade chicken pot pie for dinner when I got home and I also knew that I am working hard on my next goal. I also know that the holidays are coming and I must not fall into my old ways.
Welllllllllll......................... the new me WON!!
I feel like I succeeded today agaist my temptation and it feels great! Oh I know once in awhile a treat is ok and can be counted however I have been struggeling to stay aflot latley and I didn't need it!! May I have a round of applause?? I am so happy that I CAN say no!!

Way to go! The holidays are really tough. Starting in October and going through the Superbowl, I remember having to pack my own snacks and stuff to eat for every party I got invited to because if I just gave in and had a little taste at each one, they were all gonna add up. But it wasn't easy. Saying no is never easy. But it does get easi-er. You did a great job today. Keep up the good work. And enjoy your pot pie.0

I am fairly new to MFP and I have noticed that people love to point out the things you do wrong! It's sad really! We should all be here to support each other, not nit-pick mistakes. I'm proud of your accomplishment! I haven't been able to stay out of the candy jar today. :sad:0
