Willpower and umm....chocolate

So this is the spread that a wonderful family brought in for us wonderful staff members, she must of loved her daylight nurse. I already cracked and ate a couple pieces, but tomorrow is a new day. I hate coming to work and there is a crazy amount of food/junk in the break room which by the way is located next to our nurse station and we must store our drinks in this same room!!! Ahhhh.......

Oh poor you! my band does not like so many things and I am glad about that, but it still tolerates ice-cream and chocolate. I so wish it didn't

....wa.....wait......I thought "ice cream & chocolate" were rewards for not eating all the other junk???

Well its about 1 am and I did endulge a little but not since after midnight, I do the whole midnight is a new day type of thing because techmically it is. The stuff is still sitting here, I had my share and am not intrested in anymore.

I have my yogurt, and egg beaters for Breakfast that I will eat in a couple of hours, about 5 am. If I get hungry before then I have an extra yogurt in my lunch bag. Back to my normal day again, Im so glad I have the willpower to say no more.

I CAN"T eat cupcakes or Cookies, not band friendly for me...and I have learned, the hard way, so I can now completely ignore those things...however, I would have gladly grabbed a few of the Mini-Reeses cups...

yes the peanutbutter chocolate thing is my nemisis.. over the Holidays my grandaughter made Peanut Butter chocolate balls.. I could not resist them.. I ended up throwing them out of my house so I wouldn't eat them..I'm back on track.. starting my New Year off with eating good and started Zumba.. Part of the band life is willpower but it is easier to control what you eat with the band..

I too am a sucker for chocolate and Peanut Butter. I did great and am now having my Protein filled Breakfast.< /p>

Looks Yummy! Unfortunately I can eat EVERY thing there including cupcakes, I probably can eat 3 cup cakes in 1 sitting! I don't keep my band dangerously too tight to not eat junk food...LOL...they will slide right down...

I have to have discipline to stay away from too many sweets, but every now and then I will have my chocolate fix.

There was a thread a couple of months ago, "Peanut Butter is the devil" or something like that. It's one of the things I'm still afraid to have in the house. I feel like I might get out my baby spoon and just keep going back. As for chocolate, I have a little dark chocolate once in a while and am amazed that I don't want to consume the whole thing. I was always such a finisher. If I started on something -- a stack of Cookies or whatever -- I would have to finish. I just could not override that impulse. Now I am nibbling like a mouse on a small piece of dark chocolate and feeling like what I have is yummy and, importantly, that it's enough. For me it's important not to restrict foods. That said, I could not tolerate a work environment with all kinds of sugary foods on display like that. Eeek! It's mean to bring that stuff in -- no wonder so many people have weight problems!

That's what I'd do, except for the baby spoon

What a strong lady you are. I'm so impressed... it's a huge thing to toss food in the garbage. I've done it a few times myself and once it's done, I always know it's better off there than in my mouth. Great job terry.
