I've Been Lying To Myself

[lots2lose]

So today I did something crazy.I went into my refrigerator and took out the heavy cream I spent almost 4bucks on and the cheddar cheese that was equally as expensive and threw it out!!!!Yes threw those suckers out!!!!!They are too much of a trigger for me I couldn't handle it.I thought that I would be able to handle having a a half a gallon of cream in my refrgerator and not touch except for when I drink tea,but oh no.OH Ya and I'm throwing out my splenda tooo(what a waste of good good money but it's for my strength and health)because I realize how easy it is to overindulge in that too!!!!!!I feel a little sad about letting these things go but I haven't made it all the way to day 30 just to give it all up.I'm stronger than that!!!!But I am sad tho.....oh well

Ya gotta do whatcha gotta do. It's hard sometimes but if you were worried about having them as triggers that may have been the best thing to do. Taking control is a great thing though and very admirable!

Re: I've Been Lying To Myself

Congrats! I have a hard time with the exact same things. I will not buy cream cheese anymore and I don't buy cream either. I do buy cheese becuase a lot of times I don't like to eat a lot of meat. But I find it is easier for me to limit cheese as opposed to cream or cream cheese.... Oh how I would love some cheesecake... sorrryyy, close to TOM and I am craving sweets! I NEVER crave sweets!!! LOL

Re: I've Been Lying To Myself

When we listen to our bodies is when we make the right decisions for it. Cream cheese gets me as well and I dont keep sour cream around for taco salad .... as much as I love it because I use too much. Heavy cream... I keep a pint around for coffee but my coffee is about to go out the window with the bath water pretty soon too.

Re: I've Been Lying To Myself

I haven't had any cream cheese in my house until yesterday. I plan on making some of those Clouds everyone is raving about. I just hope I don't get addicted and have to throw out the cream cheese.

I praise you for being so strong to throw out your weakness' though. Way to go!
