Temptations everywhere!!

[gshoemate]

No wonder I can't stay on Atkins....there are to many temptations. I'm at the gym and commercials come on the T.V.'s for resturants, at home there are commercials, I walk outside my front door and I can smell Burger King a block away, at the gym the other day they were passing out candy, there is a stinking Tropical Smoothie in the gym that loves to torture us by baking chocolate chip cookies and tonight, tonight I took my DD to the Orlando Ballet and I thought I would be safe. WRONG!!! They were selling ice cream bars, candy coated nuts (you know, the kind that are nice and warm) then they had a coffee bar set up with flavored hot and iced coffee and hot chocolate. And I had to carry DD's kind sized bag of M&M's in my pocket!

It makes dieting so so hard. But I am getting ready to turn it so that would mean that I made it through day 2 of Atkins without cheating. Yeah

I know what you mean. When I was on vacation last week with a group of friends, who BTW knew I was dieting, they seemed to go out of their way to make it more difficult. One friend bought bags of Easter chocolates and dumped them in a bowl in the middle of the condo. Another made pancakes each morning. I was almost glad to come home where I can somewhat control my own environment.

Oh tell me about it! I was at the Mall yesterday and they were handing out free samples of these new chocolate bars. They were very nice though (only had 1, was tempting to walk around some shops, come back and get another!) However today we went back to the Mall to pick up our photos and they were still handing them out! Avoided temptation this time around though!

I'm very proud of myself today. I went to the cinema and didn't take any sweets or fizzy drinks in! Normally I can get through a large back of sweets before the adverts finish! Just wish housemate hadn't decided to take us to Pizza Hut afterwards!

When I'm bombarded with all those temtpations, I find a safe alternative so that I won't cheat. Even though I'm maintaining, I don't want to make the mistake of over indulging on anything. Keep up the good work and stay on track.
