I have lost all desire for sweets! =)

[Forest]

I was at a charity dinner last night. It was a buffet. I ate most of the stuff there and my carb count for the dinner (main course) was prob a bit higher then my usual

BUT when it cam time for dessert Everyone at the table (9 people and me) were all chowing down on cakes and brownies and all sorts of sweets

AND it didnt even faze me even when they were passing stuff right in front of me

PHEW

That is awesome Forest! Isn't it a good feeling when you can pass it up? My mother in law made some muffins when we visited last weekend and they smelled good, but I was just enjoying the smell, not at all wanting a bite! It's so great, congrats!

Re: I have lost all desire for sweets! =)

yeah

but what almost took me out today was I went to McD's with orders for the entire office

Everyone had fries except for me

The smell of them in the car was MADENING!

I almost held the bag outside the window

Reminds me of the old old McDonalds french fry commercial. Put em in the trunk. The guy couldn't make it home without eating the french fries so he decides to put them in the trunk. Then he sees another guy driving eating the fries so he yells "Put em in the trunk" So next time put it all in the trunk so you can't get at them or maybe you won't even smell them as much.

Good for you, Forest! That is such a good feeling! (Am referring to the dessert part, not the french fry torture.) And the cool thing is, it gets easier and easier. And feels better and better.

As for the fries, I recommend not offering to do McD's runs for the office.

I agree with Adena. Sometimes it is best to cut out as many enticements as you possibly can.

My wonderful husband went thru the pantry and threw all the bad foods away. And I doubt we will go out to eat very often because it may be just too hard for me at the moment- and McDonalds...

I had a luncheon at work on Friday. I ate some celery for a snack and then ate my lunch from home. It wasn't really hard at all- just a good decision for me.

Sometimes when I am bombarded with cravings- like cereal commercials or something- I drink water- it seems odd but for the moment it fills me up and the hydration changes my thinking.

Congrats! You are doing well! Keep going.
