such restraint!

[irishchub]

Finish my 3rd and final day of attack today and looking forward to chicken SALAD (yay!) For lunch 2m! Today in work a student came in with a HUGE box of thorntons chocolates for me and I am so proud of myself I shared them all out and didn't have any myself! Hope I can keep my resolve longterm!

That's pretty good going, irishcub. If you're already proven to yourself that you can resist, then I'm sure you'll be able to do so again in future.

Wow! well done.

I think Dukandebut has hit the nail on the head - all too ofetn we imagine we can't resist temptation. You just proved that you can, so every 'no thank you' from now on will just get easier and easier.

I was really surprised i didnt fold! It was so unlike me! Though I definitely think that eating pure protein did help me resist strangely! (I did however sniff the box repeatedly - lol!) How many calories can we breathe in?!?! haha

 

[anjuschka]

Wohoo - WELL DONE! Yes it's amazing what we can do (or rather NOT DO) if we want to! And now you can do it again and again I'm sure.

Well done, I know what you mean about just having protein, it sort of means you cant justify anything else

Look forward to seeing your loss this week

I've done LOADS of sniffing. Every time one of my kids has a biscuit or even strawberries. Yum. Sometimes they try and force feed me a bit of chocolate or something, NOT GOOD, but I've never succumbed. And funnily enough, sniffing doesn't make me want to succumb, either.

There's a bit in the (French) book about having an aroma box... I think it was more coffee grain oriented than chocolate though!

Aren't you a nice person? I'd have taken them home and put them in "the cupboard".*
