A York peppermint patty which my loving husband brought to me as "a reward" for doing so good on my diet!?!?!

"I "deserve" it!" Sweeet, Sweeeet man but OHHHH , could I Kick his butt!

I held the patty in my hand..I ripped a corner off the edge of the package...I sniffed the patty,:nutz: I inhaled its pepperminty freshness. I imagined what the patty would taste like
I felt like crying. I have had offplan foods before..I'm not perfect..But those were planned, non reward, non impulse items. This is CHOCOLATE!!!!

I told hubby I couldn't eat it. I made him eat it. then I proceeded to help my 10 year old daughter to make choc chip cookies. Which I also didn't eat. I do feel sorta sorry for myself But also a sense of pride and dare I say, Sacrifice? lol

Many of you don't know that my hubby and are an interracial couple ,so I told him that from now on when he felt the need to reward me with chocolate to just please give me a kiss ...and I didn't mean a hersheys one.

lol *Ginabobina strolls away humming "I will surviveeee!"

Hugs,
Gina

Gina! You shouldn't feel sorry for yourself! You should feel such pride. I know I'm proud of you! And don't you feel much better right now than you would have felt if you had eaten the PP?

To borrow a Steelers cheer.........Here we go, Gina, here we go!!!

Gina, you are Goddess!

Not only did you give away the peppermint patty, THEN you helped make cookies! You are stone, you are a rock! I would've sniffed that thing a little while longer! I stuck my nose in a Taco Bell bag last week...until the owner of the bag made me pass it over. I felt a tinge of "why can't I have that?" But it was overshadowed by the pride I felt for not taking the bag and running with it! I know what you mean about pride AND sacrifice...you should feel WAY more pride though!!!!

I'm so proud of you! This is a process we are going through for a period of time...these things we want will be there in moderation when we're done.

You Dunn GOOD girl!

Thanks for the story, you painted it so that I totally imagined I was THERE!

[nostoppingme]

There is nothing you can't do, if you can do that!!

[summerblue]

GREAT JOB!!!!

My favorite chocolate is GODIVA - the first time i was given a box of GODIVA since I started MF, I opened ONE of the candies, chewed it and SPIT IT OUT - then just last week I received another box of godiva and I just happily gave it to someone else. Progress huh?

You shouldn't feel sorry for yourself, you should feel very PROUD!

Wow, way to go Gina! You sound like me the other day LOL... I was looking at that Goober peanut butter and jelly jar on the counter that is my son's... I stuck my nose in there and inhaled a long time, dreaming of having some in the future! I didn't have any! The smell sure helped the craving at least.

[Arklahoma]

Oh, Gina ... I am sooo proud of you. You're control is nothing short of amazing. If my husband offered me something off-plan and told me I deserved it, I'd probably be weak and take it (and then feel awful, later). You are soo strong!!!

You're my hero!!!

[Ct. Yankee]

HI, WOW! What self discipline not to eat the candy and then to go ahead and be compliant while making cookies!! So very admirable!! You should feel nothing but pride for your day!!
