Halloween Aftermath

OK, so in my last post, I noted that all of my candy was taken by trick or treaters and there was nothing left for my house. Well, now at work, all of my co-workers are bringing in their leftover candy. Typically, it is not left at my end of the office, so it offers such little temptation if any to me. This year, there is a ton of it, not only on my side of the office, but in my direct line of sight!!! I'm sitting and eating carrots right now, which are great, but seeing chocolate is actually killing me. I know this will pass and I will forget it's there, but right now, it's almost impossible for me not to get up and grab a handful to eat. Thankfully, my past closet eating habits are kicking in and since some people in my office know I had the surgery, I could not possibly take any candy and eat it. I know, it's bad that I still have those thoughts, but I'm a work in progress.

Something that a friend of mine said to me over the weekend..."Don't say you are losing weight. Say you are getting rid of it. If you lose something you always find it."
