I refuse to cave in

By DidThis4Me

My daughter decided to bake 2 dozen homemade chocolate chip cookies tonight. They are sitting on the countertop, taunting me. Although my husband and daughter are both asleep, and although no one would know if I ate just one, I REFUSE to visit them. I WON'T give in to the temptation. I CAN DO THIS! I am STRONGER than those cookies! Before the band, I would have eaten at least 5 of those cookies with a tall glass of milk. Now, I am so focused, I am avoiding them like the plague. I see so many people on this site that have actually reached and SURPASSED their goals, and I am inspired. I want to be a success story. If I eat the cookie, I WILL KNOW. My band will know. I don't want to disappoint my band. I think I will go to bed now.....

    Good for you! If it were me though, I'd be putting those cookies somewhere out of sight. I've already told my family that if they bring sweets home, they can't leave them out on the counters for me to see. And the ice cream stays in the downstairs freezer so that it isn't easily accessible to me.

    With your attitude, you will be a success story. Tonight, you already are. Sleep well.

    I agree with Cynthia2013: Not "caving" is a major sucess all its own! Congrats superhero!

    very nice you were great!!

    I would have eaten the cookie dough. That to me is the best. I can live without the cookies.

    Getting past the mindset that "if other people don't see me eat, then those calories don't count" is probably going to be one of the hardest hurdles for me. Good job
