Can't stop thinking about cupcakes

We went to the wedding show and the MOCA minies from Sugar Rush were so good that I can't stop thinking about them  Stupid diet!

How do you stay on the 'healthy' track on days like these?

I do my best to not keep unhealthy (but OH SO YUMMY) food in the house.  If it's not in my kitchen, then I can't eat it. 

But if I do have chocolate or other sweets handy, I try to use portion control... like only 5 chocolate & peanut butter M&Ms a night.  I also try to eat nice full meals 3 times a day, so I'm not so hungry for snacks and stuff.

It is THE WORST at work.  People are always bringing in cupcakes, doughnuts, and other junk food.  I tell them, when they offer me any, "Not until May 19th" (the day I'm back from my honeymoon).  And I stay out of the main breakroom at all costs if I know there are temptations waiting for me.

All in all, it's a day to day struggle to stay "good" with what I eat.  I overindulged over the holidays, but I think I'm back on track now.

GL to you!

That's why I started to have my healthy meals delivered, and I did throw everything out of the house that was sweet or unhealthy. Today there's just too much junk at work, but I'm trying hard.

I really like your 'not till may 19', I think I'll need to come up with a date like that too.
THANKS!

Drink lots and lots of water.  Everytime you want to snack, drink a big glass of water.  It will fill you up a little bit so you can stave off that temptation.

I also try to do really healthy snacks.  I eat 3 well balanced meals and 2 snacks a day. it will keep your metabolism going too.  I do trail mix for my morning snack and something like dark chocolate covered pomegranates/blueberries (costco sells them) for my afternoon snack.  I am very strict about portion control too.  if the serving size says 2 tablespoons, then that's what i measure out and put in my little baggie and take to work with me.
