I want...

[Veronica]

Welch's fruit snacks! I have a whole drawer full. It's been a long morning and I have my meeting with crying mom today...

and I want sugary little balls of fruity goodness.

EAT 'em!

"Discipline is remembering what you want"

And a line from Susan about don't confuse what you want right now with what you really want.

Besides, I know it's just eating out of stress I refuse to give in.

that's why you can do fancy pushups and I can't.

You know what V. This post is actually exactly what I needed to read.

Thanks for that.

Veronica,

If it helps, I spent today's session with my trainer trying to channel you. My shoulders and obliques, in particular, thank you.

LOL no kidding. I want to channel her doing pull-ups

I told Veronica in another thread that she's my Muse. If I could just find a quarter of her inner athlete, I'd be thrilled.

Weight work is proving really fun though. I'd never worked with a trainer before now. It's far more motivating, he helps with form and keeping me honest in terms of reps, and always has something new to try. I'm really enjoying it.

It's funny to see the differences in our cravings. Any fruit-flavored candy would not tempt me in the least, even though I love fruit. Just don't care for fruity candy. Put anything chocolate or peanut buttery in a drawer, though, and it will make me crazy!

I do like the snacks V is craving, but my weakness is ice cream and cookies. I have zero resistance. My husband tried to do an intervention once with ice cream and I reacted like a true addict would. I should be really ashamed of that, but I just haven't hit bottom yet. I may need a twelve step program when I do (and I'm only sort of kidding here).

There are certain things I just can't have in the house. I buy them only on rare occasions, because they will not last the night.

If it were me, I'd just eat them, and then they wouldn't be tempting me any more.

I'm the same way with certain foods (like Breyers Mint Chip). I would find myself hiding the item so that he wouldn't finish it off while I was at work. And I would compare, in my head, who got more of it. Signs of addiction? I think so!
