I have managed to have pretty strong "blinders" on when it comes to off-limits food. (So far!) The bowl of Halloween candy sat there and I just kind of glanced disinterestedly at it once when I got home...and that's it. I admired it more for it's plethora of fun-looking colors than anything. I handed the candy out and made the little kids happy and didn't even think about what it was I was giving as food I should want. I was so proud of myself!!!
Cutting out sugar has not been that hard. Same with soda and caffeine (surprisingly!). What IS hard for me, and makes the "blinders" over my eyes waver and want to fall off, are foods like pizza and bread. When I'm around people who are eating bagguettes and ripping pieces off and dipping them in oil and vinegar...and...mmmmm! That is a bit harder for me. I miss my morning Everything bagel and cream cheese, too. Oh well! This is what I signed up for...and it is very early days yet!
