So much chocolate around here!!!

[mjlanham2]

I am a school teacher so of course you know I am getting a lot of candy as gifts. The teachers lounge is also packed with sugar treats!! Well I caved and had a "few" cake balls covered with white chocolate. Yes they were good but now it's time for a nap. I am crashing hard! I know I have set myself back because of my cheat and I do realize it was my own choice. Well I am paying for it in more than one way! NEVER AGAIN!!!

Yes, it's tough. I had a treat day yesterday and another tomorrow. I was very good yesterday, so fingers crossed for the rest of the week. I never know when I will cave; I just know I'm thrilled if I don't give in.

My daughter just came home and knew I had made cookies the other night, and immediately wanted one. I had hid them, since I know they have to be out of site...well, right away, popped one in my mouth the things we do!

Chocolate will always be my toughist temptation. It calls to me. It beckons me. It lays in wait. It makes me weak. I love it

But I love myself thin better.

Today was the toughest day at work; everyone is passing out goodies - including me! But so far, I've stayed on plan and gotten my jollies from sniffing the mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Those cups aren't terribly carby - 5g net per mini cup. Still, they're not worth a lick when I can have a whole molten chocolate cake from the dessert section of DANDR (making 6 cakes rather than 4), topped with a smidge of melted peanut butter (made simply from peanuts and sea salt), for the same 5g net carbs.

I will allow myself to eat chocolate and other goodies Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Then back on track. yes, i know it's funny, i have just lost one pound and I am already planning to cheat. But I have actually done this before and lost 75 pounds. I will have to get through these holidays though to really buckle down.

Re: So much chocolate around here!!!

I gained a reputation of being very generous with chocolate treats during my first Atkins Christmas Every gift of chocolates or biscuits etc I received were quickly re-gifted to somebody else before I succumbed to temptation!

I was careful only to give them to my 'stick-insect' friends though to avoid putting anyone else on a diet into temptation-zone!

Great idea Elizellen.This is a time to also see how much willpower you have and hopefully chocolates will be a no no even though they are so tempting!

I've been known to wander around my house asking everyone if they have any brownies for me...I'm a sucker for chocolate too!

I did fail yesterday at treat day - not huge, but still disappointing...like you said - it lays it wait...it beckons...those dam* brownies just kept calling. But, only had one...then had to leave work because I was worried - went shopping instead
