My trick to resist temptation...inspried by Kamy

[Luvinit]

My aunt brought over a ultimate crunch cake...which I cannot resist...I did not know what to do....

I got really sassy walked down stairs and stuck it in the sink and ran the water all over it...YEP the entire cake!!!

Now everyone else thinks I have lost my mind...but you know what...I feel in control!!!

I know what I did was extreme and selfish...but I didn't have any and thats more important to me right now then anything.

Oh yeah...my mom just brought over a loaf of homemade bread...wonder what that is going to look like after I get done washing it LOL!!!!

Does anyone have any other "tricks" they use!!!

Hey, whatever works!! In a couple of weeks you won't feel so tempted. i was like that the first week or so,but not anymore. I really have no desire for it.
KEEP UP THE GOOD ATTITUDE!!!!!

I like your style!

I give it away immediately. But honestly, most foods no longer have the control over me that they used to. I walk by sooo much stuff every day here at work... but I just keep on walking.

Very clever Kamy! I'm proud of you.

Sometimes if I <b>really</b> want to eat something that I shouldn't, I'll tell myself that I can have it right after I defrost the freezer downstairs. Never happens

Actually, I'm pretty lucky. My husband and I are both on Atkins and there are no high carb foods in our house, right now. The rest of my family lives in Texas and they are on Atkins too. That works out very well for me

my first reaction was "oohhhhhhhh"

then it was " YOU GO GIRL!!!!"

I have thrown away some candy here recently. I have put some leftover down the disposal, but never a whole something! I will remember that!

Mostly when I get tempted I leave the kitchen! I tell myself to go scrapbook, read, go outside or whatever. Fortunately I can be a little flaky and soon forget about whatever was tempting me.

Also I remember the saying "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!"

OhMom, I like your saying........

"Nothing tastes as good as thin feels"

Hope you don't mind if I borrow that for myself to say on a daily basis!!

Thanks.........

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!

I have my family hide the things I like. My Mom brought us a box of Krispy Kreme donuts from a fund raiser. I had 1/2 a donut (2.5 points) and ate it rrrrreeeeeaaalllllllllll sssssslllllooooowwwwwww. Then told the family to hide the box. They laughed, but did it. When they were gone, I asked where they hid it and it was on top of the fridge!! Ok, I know I am vertically challenged, but I didn't think I was that bad!

The ten minute rule really works for me....

If I crave something (and it's available) I tell myself that to wait 10 minutes and if I still really want it then I can have it. During the ten minutes I make myself drink a glass of water and normally the craving goes away (although it is the looooongest 10 minutes of my life ). If it doesn't... I eat it. If it's really worth it, I won't deprive myself.

OMG! That is too funny!

This week has been rough for me because I am on spring break. Next week will be easier--I will be at work for 6 hours a day and I have stopped eating snacks with the kids there.

This week I have just stayed busy. When I was starving at 10:00 a.m. I made curtains for my son's new room. When I got finished with the curtain and had them up and looking just the way I wanted, it was 12:30 and time for lunch. That worked out great! Right now I am going through all of his toys and organizing and getting of the baby stuff. That should take all day!

And when his room his done, I have my room to do and then the basement and then the storage unit and........ I will have a clean organized house and maybe be a few pounds lighter!
