Really!?!?

It's great living in the boonies. Besides a subway inside the gas station, there is not a single fast food restaurant in the whole county!

That does have its advantages.

Once I'm home it's no problem cause we're 30 minutes from ANYTHING. But getting to & from work going through "town" is a nightmare!

It was a lot harder to avoid temptation before surgery. Post-surgery? I'm ultra-sensitive to smells right now, and the smell of most restaurants make me really nauseous. Which I suppose is a good thing...I rarely have cravings. I think the only thing I've had a real craving for since the surgery was Chinese food (I walked by one on my way home to lunch...but I was only a week out at that point so it was easy to avoid), and for tortilla chips when I was dishing them up for the kids last night.

I haven't done well with anything that has a strong flavor or scent. (including too-sweet Protein shakes)

@Chelly that's so stupid...the vending machines here at work are the same...but it's work not a work out place! GEEZ! I have asked that they put in raw almonds (3 months ago)... no luck... but one would think healthy alternatives should be in ALL vending machines... maybe we can start a "movement" for that!

food is the drug we can't quit.

Anyone try hypnosis to avoid the candy temptation?

My surgeons office is on Fast food ally, McDonald, Wendys, pizza places, Ihop, Diners and his office is in between the pizza restaurant and KFC LOL!!

I remember commenting to my hubby that I thought he had filled in the local tv network of my upcoming revision last July. They had purposely put every single commercial a food commercial (at least that's what it seemed) when all I could have was full liquids. MnM's never looked so good in my life as they did when I couldn't chew anything...

Good job not giving into temptation. Thats the way the food situation is in So Ca also - except there'd be about 6 Starbucks in the 4 miles on the way to somewhere...

@marfar7 I live about a mile from where they make M&M's, Sometimes in the morning the whole town smells like chocolate!

I wondered where the M&Ms were made! If I Detour around to CVS to miss all the food joints, I have to pass the Mars plant where they make Snickers, Starburst and Skittles.It's reached the point when I pass the plant, I can tell by the smell if they are making Skittles or Starburst. We mainly get the Snickers smell at late at night.The chocolate gets going at about 8 PM.

Heavenly! So much better than a pulp mill!

@Mommabird

Every pack of M&M's you'll ever see will have "Hackettstown NJ" on the back!

They have been made here since 1958.

[Mommabird 367]

Wow! I'll have to look next time I'm talking myself out of buying some. I know that the plant here makes around 85% of all snickers bars (but no snack size ones) and it's the only place that Skittles and Starburst are made. During the hottest part of the summer, it can make you queasy driving past because that sweet, fruity smell is over whelming. Personally, I'd rather smell chocolate!
