I still say NO

[Evermind]

I'm sitting in my classroom surrounded by a) green frosting, b) sprinkles, c) candycanes, d) brownies, e) cupcakes, f) chocolate truffles. The kids are watching a movie. I'm drinking a cup of tea.

I've eaten my lunch and I still have fresh raspberries to eat as a treat later if I want them. My tummy is full.

And I've been saying NO.

It's getting harder. So I decided to post this announcement that I'm still saying NO. It would be awfully embarassing to have to come back on and tell people that I said yes, even once.

Hanging in there! This, too, shall pass!

Re: I still say NO

Evermind... I'm with you!! I just returned from a lunch with my coworkers - we went to Red Robin - and everyone was having fruity or creamy drinks and fat burgers with yummy fries. I had a "burger 'n greens" - a bunless burger with salad/ranch dressing and feel terrific for saying "NO" to all the temptations around me.

Keep up your resolve... you're doing great!

Re: I still say NO

I'm home now, eating a yummy cauliflower and zuchini casserole with cheese. I resisted all temptation and promised myself that later this evening, if feel like it, I can have some low-carb icecream with cocoa sauce (homemade, no carb). I may not want it - generally these days I haven't had much of a sweet tooth come evening.

I'm very proud of myself. Today was the worst in terms of the temptations that are out there this season. If I could manage to say NO all day today, chances are that I'll be able to do it again tomorrow!

Re: I still say NO

Doesn't it feel GREAT to say NO! We just need to remember that feeling of accomplishment whenever we're tempted to cheat. I had some temptations in my room today too... chocolate chip cookies, gingerbread, cupcakes with mounds of icing, and m&m's. The kids enjoyed it but I stayed away! Good for you for saying NO!

Re: I still say NO

This is the hardest time to so nO!!! I am struggling with all of the deserts that I am presented with. A student brought in Baklava.....I wanted to taste a little but I didn't. It looked so gooey with tons of sugar oozing out. Once I saw that.....It was confirmed that it is not worth it.

Re: I still say NO

I am pretty much safe now. Only one more day of work left but i am not worried. A bit concerned about tomorrow at my mom's but i will do the best i can with what is put in front of me and i will say NO to dessert. Christmas morning i was thinking of going off plan...i mean heck it is Christmas. But have decided against that potentially slippery slope. I am making cinnamon rolls and strata as well as fresh fruit salad for dessert. Not even sure what to do about Christmas dinner, but i believe it will be just the 3 of us so i am not too concerned. Prolly something simple and easy. I think i am going to try to make some eggnog so that i can have a bit of a treat along with everyone else. Remember it's easy to say no for just one day Evermind...you rock!
