It does feel good to know that I can resist.
As for Au Bon Pain, we don't have those in my area (at least any I know of). From the sound of it, that is probably a good thing. We do have a place called St. Louis Bread Company that sounds similar. I love that place but refuse to go. The smell of fresh bread baking is irrestible.....I had better stop talking about it. You are all probably saying SHUT UP!

We don't want to hear about bread.
Anyway, I love the way you think
raederle. I will try to exact change idea.
Being a teacher I have to eat lunch in the cafeteria. I eat with a group of ladies who also love to eat. However, they are all thin and apparently can eat whatever they want. (I hate 'em)

I usually have my bar at lunch. I think they think I am crazy, but apparantly they know I am committed because they didn't ask me if I wanted to order out with them last Friday. ( I won't tell you what they ate in front of me)
I love the feeling of being in control, FINALLY! I have been pigging out for so long now that I didn't think it was possibly to get a handle on my eating.
This forum is a God-send.
