Here's what saved me yesterday....

It'd been pouring rain all day and I really wanted a cup of coffee so I decided to drop into a bakery in a strip mall where I was running errands. Now I know me and I'm pretty sneaky. I knew if I stepped in there, I'd have a sample piece of cake if not a whole cookie. I thought about Dr. Phil and about creating a lifestyle that supports a healthy weight. Hanging around bakeries DOES NOT fit into that category. With all respect to the Big Guy (not Dr. Phil, the other Big Guy), I thought "What would a skinny person do?" (WWSPD?) With that, I got back in my car and got a skim iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts drive-through. I wouldn't even let the donuts peek out at me from inside (and don't think they weren't trying). It really helped me.

Anyone else have some sneaky strategies?

Every time there is junk food lying around work, I used to sample automatically. Now I stop and think first....do I really need to eat this now? Usually not...and later when I get back it's all gone!
