I can honestly say that I surprised myself by staying away from all the goodies. I wasn't tempted once and I can not believe it because I used to love chocolate... now it seems a thing of the past. If ever I get a craving I remind myself how horrible I will feel after I eat it and then I feel good about it. Slipping up once in a while is just human nature. You can just pick yourself up and continue where you left off. Happy weight loss
