This brings us to today... While getting ready to move some shelves, I came across a Starburst/Skittles stash. The candy looked SOOOOOOO good. My mouth literally started to water. My kids saw what I had found and asked for a couple pieces themselves. After doling those out there were about five pieces remaining. I cannot explain how tempted I was to eat them. Before I scarfed down a handful of calorie ridden candies I quickly gave them to my seven year old begging her to "hide the candy from Mommy"...pathetic I know. Of course the sugar cravings didn't die down and were getting stronger by the second. My brain quickly compromised and decided I could have a sherbet push-up pop BUT somehow my rational brain kicked in and said "NO! STICK WITH THE PLAN!" I actually listened to the rational side (shocking I know) and ate a small Gala apple instead. I am super proud of myself.
For those of you who aren't sugar addicts or binge eaters, you probably think I sound ridiculous. For those in the same boat as me, I am sure you know exactly what I was going through and how hard that was to turn down candy especially candy in the palm of my hand. *High fives* to all of my fellow sugar addicts.
Score:
Me-1; Sugar-0.
