Default Tower of iron will

Today I had to make 2 cheese cakes for a party at work. I didn't eat any batter ( tasted it to make sure it was right, but spit it out) didn't eat any of the completed cakes. also I have a huge sack of candy left over from halloween that I haven't touched. I the past the bag of candy would be gone halloween night and I would eat a signifigant portion of the batter. Would like to hear some other stories of YOUR will power!!!

Default I don't think of it as will power, actually

It doesn't take any will power not to drink drano.

High-carb foods are just as much death-on-a-stick. Don't want to go back there. I like the way I live now.

I have to cook for our office Thanksgiving party; plan to try a LC dessert. Haven't checked the books for a recipe yet but my sister's raving about something in South Beach. Enough people in my office hinting around the edges of LC that I think it will disappear fast.

LOL - cooking can be a real killer cant it. Congrats on your willpower!

My big killer used to be our staff morning tea - we all take turns making/buying something. It was always my downfall. Now that hegdehog is like bullets bouncing off my chest.

The irony of it is whenever I do take a little bit of things that "arent tooooo bad" I usually dont even enjoy it.

Sombody has been bringing Krispy Kreme doughnuts to work every morning this week. Talk about temptation! But I have not even had a bite.

I have been dragging bags of leftover Hallowe'en candy to work every morning this week - and my kids have not noticed so far that their stash is dwindling! They don't need it - I don't need it in the house......and suprisingly I fill the "candy dish" in our office kitchen in the morning...and by noon the darn thing is empty.

Better them than me!
