Me-1; Sugar Cravings-0

While cleaning and reorganizing furniture I found some of the Easter candy my younger daughter hid (on my instructions).  She hid candy all around the house and I keep finding it.  I bought the kids candy I knew I wouldn't eat (mainly candy high in fat like chocolate which is also their favorite) BUT their father came over on Easter morning with two HUGE bags of candy: Tootsie roll bag (which I ate a lot of) and a Skittles/Starburst bag... F@CK.  I knew I wouldn't be able to resist from eating (ALL OF) the candy so I asked my younger daughter to hide the candy (this was of course after I ate almost all of the tootsie roll candies).  Instead of hiding the candy in one spot, she split the candy into several stashes and hid the stashes throughout the house.  I have stumbled across two or three of the stashes and I am sure there all several more I haven't found yet.  

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.
