I have a little success I would like to brag about if you all don't mind. Yesterday I took my little one and a little friend of his to see his sister play volleyball, and there was the concession stand (my use to be favoriate part of ballgames) we walked right past and I didn't get a thing. Later my daughter, when she was finished playing, got the little ones some M&M's but she had to leave, me holding the bag. I proceeded to feed the candy to the little guys, they are 17 months and 2 years old, and not one M&M found my mouth, not one, that was will power, I love M&M's.

Simply astounding.
I could never do that. My only defense against temptation is to keep it away. If it's in reach, it's in my mouth.

Sisnelly, really enjoyed your story. M&M's are one of my favorite "binge" foods and I have to be real careful w/them. I have always found it is the "first bite" that gets me started and in this case the "first M&M". Looks like you and I must agree!!!

That is something to brag about. Good for
you!!!

Sisnelly...... I'm impressed. You must have an iron will! Don't those little victories just make you feel SO good? Keep strong and good luck to you!

Here's to healthy and happy!

Congratulations Sisnelly. Willpower is what they call it. There's no way that phrase "Like stealing candy from a baby" won out on that one. TEEHEE

I'm extremely impressed !! I, myself, cannot be trusted around M&Ms (esp. peanut variety). You go girl !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank You all so much for your replies. I just knew that the first one would not be my last. ;) Yes the little victories do feel great, a matter of fact they keep me going. Not to metion the support I get here and the knowing that I have to be accountable. Thanks again.

Good for you!!! Holding back on treats, when they are right in your hands is really hard!! LeeAnn

I had a similar experience tonight. I work in a supported living home. I had to feed one of the residents chocolate cake that was left over from a birthday party. There was plenty for me to have a peice, and I just stared at it. It was so tempting. (I'm such a sucker for CHOCOLATE!) But I didn't eat any. I got an apple instead. GO ME!!!

Good for you Tif!! Thats will power!! LeeAnn

Man o man..great story about the M&M triumph!
I have such a hankerin' for M&M's that I was afraid to click on your topic :) Great willpower!

Good job Tif. I know that turning you head is a hard thing to do. Ecspecially when your sitting there with the goodies in your hand. I have a 3yr old and constanly get left holding her bag of treats. Even though it is usually raisins or dried fruit. I have really tried to not snack if I am not hungry. Good job.
