Default My first real temptation and I passed!

I had a breakfast meeting at work today and figured that for once I would be able to et at these things since they usually just ahve fatty foods and eggs and so on (used to be on low-fat diet)

But to my horror, all they had were macDonalds type breakfast muffins - bacon + egg and cheese + tomato and some muffins and fruit kebabs.

As I walked into the room I saw these things and wondered if I would be able to stop myself from eating any of the muffins.

Well!
Once in the room the smell hit me, it was strong and sweet and sickening. I didn't feel like eating thema t all.

but I was hungry - had saved myself for this breakfast - so I picked up bacon and egg one and threw away the muffin part.

So, in fact, I didnt' resist temptation, there was no temptation - those things really smelled so sickeningly sweet, I can smell them just thinking about it.

And all this after my first cravings last night (for chocolate) that I also resisted.

I eat the McDonalds Sausage Egg and Cheese McMuffin ... minus the muffin.. about 1x a week... I also get the Breakfast burrito (2) and when i get to work eat the scrambled egg and sausage cheese // red peppers with a fork... the tortilla does nothing except keep my little "scramble" warm & delicious for me

Congrats on staring temptation in the face... and doing the right thing for yourself... Kuddo's
