Not ate him. Lol aw but sounds tasty! I am working on allowing myself choclate but just a small square so far its worked out. I am not against eating sweets just I need moderation.

Next time anyone leaves a temptation like that - I would cut it up into bite sized pieces and freeze them. Then allow yourself one treat per evening until it's gone. Keep that stuff out of your sights. :) Whenever I have a cheat like that, I do 100 squats or calve stretches to get the metabolism in gear. :)) It was a pointed on one of the shows I saw.

I KNOW ITS TOUGH. RIGHT?
i do love chocolates or sweets and absolutely CANT CONTROL myself until i finish it.
but i stopped making sweets at home. i love chocolates so i take a small square per day to satisfy myself.

I have read before to try to limit the temptations by making your environment supportive of your efforts. They say that if you resist it in the store you only have to resist it once. If you get it home, car office (or whatever the environment is) you have to keep resisting it.

Hi Shy16:
I would of and have done the same thing. Once I start on something sweet it is history until it is gone.
The only way I can control myself is to keep it out of sight.
My sweet tooth has absolutely no will power!!!

lol!!!!
It's nice to know that I'm not in this alone!
It's hard to resist some temptations. I'm pretty good about keeping control over things and don't usually go overboard but, I don't know what came over me!
I guess the fact that he was bought for me didn't help.... I knew he was all mine. Every one else had their own so mine was looking kind of lonely. I even offered it to my kids and they all said that it was mine! Agh. What was i to do?

There are some great suggestions on here.

Maybe should have let a wolf into the house for a while, i dont think that bunny would've lasted too long : |

That was an evil bunny, I bet he was talking trash about you behind your back. he he he

As for your kids not eating it, next time try a different approach. Let each child know, one at a time, that you are concerned about something that they did wrong and they may not get a share of the chocolate bunny. When each of them gets a bit worried (ie starting to see through your method), "relent" and give it to them.

With enough saleswomanship they will be primed and ready for next easter and will do extra chores around the house to get your share of the chocolate!


All kidding aside, yes, we all have trouble with something!

lol, just don't bring that which u don't want to eat nor be tempted by, into your house.
I freeze my sweets in bite size sigal serveings.

My son's were only alloowed 3 pc of candy out of thier E baskets. I would freeze the rest. I would space when they could have a pc.
yep we need to teach them how to eat cook put on grocery list n how to shop. begin when they know to through a fit for a new toy,lol

Once in bluemoon I will give myself all kinds of excuses as to getting a pc n eatting a pc. ya I tell myself too that it will be ok, was ok to do so, after all it won't effect me/my life.

Hahah! One of the best worded advice requests I've ever read. I understand your pain though. I managed to go all of Easter without a single piece of candy or chocolate, but believe me it was all over my house just begging to be eaten, thanks to my siblings. If it's possible, try not to even buy candy/have it in your house. You can't eat it if it's not there!

Thanks for the compliment, Vonni!

Unfortunately, I always have candy and chocolates around. I have three kids and there's always stuff. In fact, my DD finally ate her last bunny/ Easter treat yesterday after school.
My other DD and my DS have theirs still lingering around.

I usually have self control and can walk right on by. It doesn't even bother me that I see a jar of mini candies and chocolates every time I make tea. I just do what I do.

But something happened to me that day...

Counting calories really helps me. If I have some left over at the end of the day I will allow myself some candy, but I save my calories for the food that's good for me. I have a bag of starburst jelly beans that I LOVE, but its still sitting there closed because I don't have enuf calories to have any. I also don't wanna have to write in my journal that I had an entire bag because it would make me feel guilty. I try to only eat food I would be proud to be able to write down. I do like the idea of freezing small pieces and having one serving at a time. Its all about baby steps. You can do it, just takes time to develop control over food. It shouldn't control us. Keep ur chin up and start a food journal and keep track of your emotions. Dont let yourself eat when you're fristrated or depressed. That will only make you eat more. Only eat when you have control over your emotions then you will be able to make rational choices about what you should eat.
