The innocence of a child!
Hi everyone, I just had to share this. It’s the end of my first week and I have done really well, sticking to induction with no cheating. Then this afternoon I had the most intense craving for peanuts (I’ve never liked sweets but used to constantly snack on peanuts and raw almonds).
So, I decide to go hunting (on foot) for peanuts with the excuse that I’m going for a walk and since I’ve done so well this week, I can reward myself with 16 peanuts. Lots of chocolate, skittles etc. on the shelves but no peanuts, so the temptation increases and I am salivating for something forbidden! In the end I leave but turn back as I decide I’ll buy a Snickers bar and cut it up into cubes, having one each week (yeah right)
.
Anyway, call it divine intervention, or just the angels getting in my way, but just as I’m about to re-enter the shop, excited with the anticipation of having a “small piece” of snickers, the cutest little girl looks up at me smiling and starts to sing “Hello fat lady! Hello fat lady!” She said it about five times and I just looked at her and smiled, mumbled “thank you” to my angels as I turned around and headed for home with my tail between my legs, feeling very ashamed of myself!
I don’t know how I would have reacted a week ago but today, at 7 pounds lighter
being called fat doesn’t bother me because I am on my way to my goal!! No more attempts at cheating!!
This ADBB board has been the most motivating factor for me. Every morning before I make my breakfast I log on and find something inspirational to read. Thank you guys!

I think her Mum must have been hiding Angelstar, because she was nowhere to be seen! I'm okay with it really because, as I said, it was a reality check for me. Good new is, I haven't had any cravings since and have now lost 10lbs! You guys are so supportive. I really appreciate it. Take care.
