I fought temptation!
And won. Not only did I get thru an afternoon of preparing loaves and loaves of pumpkin bread, banana bread/banana chip bread (without tasting any), I also got thru 2 hours at my daughter's school on DESSERT DAY.
And boy, let me tell you. Some of those cookies and treats looked AMAZING. The whole place smelled like a bakery. It was torture.
Then, my 3 yr old brought me a cookie. It was so sweet ~ she'd gone to the table to choose a treat for herself and brought one back for me too, served on a little ****tail napkin. It was adorable. And tempting. But, I didn't cave on any of it.
My reward (at least that's what I'm going to tell myself) is that the scale finally moved after a couple of weeks and I'm down to 207.5. Just 8 more pounds to onederland!!!!!

Great job!! Doesn't it make you feel so good afterwards when you are able to be strong and not give in to temptation?! Even better than a cookie! Keep up the good work. : )

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference...
WE CAN DO HARD THINGS!!!

Good job. I read an article about willpower and it described it as a muscle which became stronger as we used it. You just made your willpower muscle stronger. You go girl.
