A Big tin of Roses chocolates

[gobolino]

..... sat next to me in work and I'm saying "NO!" for the second day running

For me its the best way. Its better to have none, than eat 6 and still feel like I could eat plenty more. None for me, thank you very much. I'll hopefully update tomorrow that I'm still saying NO! Its not all gloomy, I share a minature green and blacks as an advent chocolate (2 syns for a half) with my hubby every day

Anyone else want to celebrate saying NO to roses/quality street/heros etc ???

Congrats on your will power, it's a great feeling when your in control.

.....I am celebrating this week as I have managed to go through my * week without eating any choc......I am like you, once I start I can't stop....so I didn't start. It's amazing Didn't even think was possible lol.

I'm really Looking forward to weigh in tonight now because I've been so good and determined this week....because I'm half a pound away from my half a stone sticker . So hopefully.

Keep up the good work

Like you I can't stop at 1 or 2 so I gave them up. I have had 2 chocs in over six months and I don't miss or crave for them.
They can sit next to me and I am not even tempted.
The craving does go away..
I have a saying now... "I don't like chocolate as it shrinks my clothes!"

currently at home i have 4 tins of quality street, and 6 boxes of shortbread xmas shapes! oh and 8 boxes of mince pies!!! they were bought at the weekend and they are all calling me to eat them!

i tell them to shut up! x

 

[Mumoftwo]

I have told myself I am not touching the roses until Christmas day, they're my faves, then I shall go mad on the day and eat so many I will feel sick. ( I will probably have my consultants voice going round in my head telling me they are 2.5 syns each, I will try and ignore it!) Then I'm going back on plan boxing day, hopefully I can repair the damage by new year.

 

[funcurls]

Yes I'll join you on that!!! I'm a nurse and we've got a constant flow of tins of QS and Roses on our desk from patients/relatives, not to mention all the goodies staff bring in etc! I'm enjoying saying NO to them all!! It's shocking how many syns is in just one!!!

 

[scouzer]

At work we've gotten 3 boxes of celebrations!!!!!!!! 3 BOXES!!! I love them soooo much :drool:and I just keep saying in my head "one won't hurt". I've not had any. They're going pretty quickly so... hopefully I'll survive but they won't!!! :sign0151: lol.

Scouzer. X

I have been stocking up on all sorts of Christmas treats for over a month now to take advantage of the offers, we have 3 x tubs of pringles, nuts, xmas pud, big tins of roses and quality street, shortbread, 3 packets of jaffa cakes, stollen cake, gingerbread biscuit things and ambrosia custard all at my eye level when I open the cupboard and check me out not even been tempted.

I have had remarks by my friends like "how the hell can you not touch that" and it does make me quite chuffed to think ive not even had the urge, I feel so much more in control than ever before. Christmas is going to be the odd naughty thing and a lovely lunch - enough to feel all special, but im certainly not going to be silly and undo ALL my hard work.

Luckily as I have no kids (apart from my boyfriend of course) the flat is just about free from treats and I won't be getting any in. When I go to my mum's however... BOOM!
On a different note I went xmas shopping at the weekend and was offered the following freebies to try:

Posh chocolate
A mince pie
Champagne
A cookie
Some Bailey's flavoured butter icing :drool:

I refused it all! I am a saint

 

[natasha1974]

theres a box of mince pies on the side in my kitchen and after the day i have had i think i could eat all 6 off them to say im not tempted is an understatement if i make the night without one it will be a miracle

 

[minn_82]

Mince pie on the lips another week on the hips, lol. Tell yourself that before putting it to your mouth. x

 

[gobolino]

Well done everyone ! Its great to know I'm not alone in resisting and also its great to know lots of others like me cannot have just 1 or 2 ! Come on, keep it up and we'll make it another day without delving in the tin

Good luck for the next few weigh ins and I know you'll all be getting the fab weight losses you deserve (me too please if the weigh in fairy is listening!) xxx

***Hangs head in shame*** - just couldn't resist a mince pie at a festive office drop-in at work today - 12 syns!!!! xxx

 

[lemma1968]

I love Quality Street especially the toffees and caramels, and i am having them...occasionally. They are 2 syns each. I can stop at one or two. If i was to deprive myself completely then i would just throw the towel in cos i cannot live the rest of my life feeling deprived.

 

[slinkydreams]

Our consultant told us to imagine that all quality street/roses etc were just pieces of dog muck wrapped in shiny paper. Since she said that, I haven't been able to get that image out of my head, and I haven't been tempted yet. Don't know how long it will last though....

 

[Loopeylou]

I too can't stop at one or two so its a definate steer clear and enjoy my Kit Kat or something else in the evening when I can truly relax and savour.....a quick sweet at work for me is rushed and left with guilt and chocolate should be enjoyed lol
Keep resisting
