Mall Temptations

[Psymac]

Was at our local mall today, bringing our son to the playarea and 'socialize.' He had a great time, while I was really trying to avoid all the carb temptations!

First, it was the Hagen Dazs ice cream stand near the play area, then the smell of fresh preztels from upstairs, and then finally, the candy store near the movie theater.

But, I resisted them all! Although I did have a near brush with Hagen Dazs, but after reading the carb content (20g for a half cup), I just couldn't do it. What could be worth a whole day's carb allowance for a few minutes of dubious enjoyment?

Always interesting, this new WOE, eh?

Great job! Isn't it wonderful to have control over what you eat rather than the other way 'round? :nod

I've looked at foods with around 20 carbs, and thought about eating them before, it's a real struggle when you feel you can get away with it. Great job not giving into temptation.

Great job! I'm avoiding the malls right now. Not sure if I could handle it properly yet.

I walked to our shoppingcenter today too and found that again I end up being angry, angry about the fact that the ONLY things you can eat on the way or while you are shopping (not a good thing anyway, but still) are all loaded with carbs, everything you smell is carbs !!!! :no
Not that I feel deprived, but it makes me realise how unhealthy this world has become and how all those people eating that stuff will get healthproblems at some point or another.........it's so not right...........
Ok, ok, sorry for ranting

Celery-sticks for everybody !!!!!!!!!!!!

What great willpower! You rock!!

I avoid the mall too. Nothing there but junk foods and temptations to buy what I don't need.

So I save $$ and carbs!!
