Week 8: Challenging Situation

I haven't really been craving sweets lately which is interesting. After last week, I cut out a lot of junk and after a while I guess I get used to not having it and I don't crave it. But this week was my friend's birthday, my roommate bought girl scout cookies, and my other roommate came back from Canada with maple cream cookies. I was faced with many challenging situations this week, mainly because of temptation in a social setting. My roommates offered me cookies, and they were special cookies too, so I couldn't pass on them. On my friend's birthday, she wanted to get 21 choices with a bunch of friends. First, the day before and second, the day of her birthday. I couldn't pass it up because it was her birthday, and I didn't want to just sit there without yogurt while everyone else ate yogurt together on her birthday. We also went to saddle ranch, and at the end they bring out HUGE things of cotton candy, and I just had to eat it, and i ate a lot of it because it was in front of me and it was really cool looking. So basically, its tough in social situations and its hard to pass up on temptation especially when its a special occasion I don't want to miss out on.

  1. i cannot believe your willpower! Social situations are so tough when you're trying to do anything different from the group. Occasional lapses are totally forgivable, and I hope that you don't beat yourself up over them!

  2. The cotton candy would have done me in for sure. Seems like it is getting a bit better though.
