Today I Was Put to the Snicker test

sails92 · 07-03-2007, 05:31 AM

Hello Everyone....Need Support,

Well this morning I was put to the snicker test. As I was cleaning out my refrigerator and getting rid of all of the bad foods, I came across a snickers bar that I was hiding from my husband. I use to hide snacks so that my husband would not know what I was eating (yes, very bad but now in the past). Well I hid it so well that I forgot that it was there until finding it today. The test came...should I eat it or not....my husband is at work so he won't know because I will throw the wrapper away. My conscious fluctuated until I came to the conclusion that a 35gm carb snickers was two days worth of carbs. As of Monday's weigh-in I had so far lost -18lbs in 3 1/2 weeks. I came to the conclusion that it was just NOT worth it. I am doing the M/E challenge this week so it was no way that I was going back. I want to thank you all for all of the encouragement and just reading your inspirational stories keeps me motivated. I wish you all continual success with your healthy living.

That's being STRONG! COngrats! I happen to know there are several mini peanut butter cups and kit kat bars on top of one of our cupboards - just saw them the other day while looking for something. You made me remember - and I will be giving them to my kids later today for a treat. I just can't throw in the towel for just any 'ol candy! You've motivated ME! We CAN do this!!!! Way to go!

Yeah for you, I am so glad you didn't eat it, but if you had, we'd a scooped you right back up, and started again. Good for getting right back on plan. So proud of you. Congrats....

good for you!! I know I have been there before. It is so easy just to pop it in your mouth when no one is looking. But the only person you are cheating would be yourself. Good job!

Hello rhlong.....thank you for the encouragement.....I did give it a second, a third and fourth thought but decided that it was best that I did not so I just threw it in the garbage.....I wish you continual success with your healthy living.

Sails, if you haven't had chocolate in a couple of months, what you are on your way to is easy maintenance after you reach your goal! That's incredible, and congratulations to you for being so strong.

It's a mine field out there! Stay strong! You inspire me - first with your workouts, and now with getting near a "Snickers" mine and stepping away from it!

Sails - way to go! I don't know if I could not have just had a teeny bite! Right now I am being put to the "beer, chips, and other 4th food test." It's going to be a looooong day off.

Hot Tamale · 07-03-2007, 04:47 PM

Thanks, Sails! KUTGW!
