Guess what I did yesterday?

[dss62467]

I bought my first bag of M&M's in 6 months!!!! I am an M&M addict and everyone who knows me knows this. So I've been given bags of M&M's as gifts from coworkers and bribes from others. That addiction to those wonderful little nuggets of joy helped get me to the place where I needed to start exercising again.

Yesterday while I was out running errands with my daughter, I found myself in front of the candy rack at Media Play and I said to myself, "Self, why don't you just grab a bag of those wonderful little nuggets of joy and share them with your daughter? You'll be ever so happy that you did." And you know what? I WAS! They were soooooooo good! I had half and Teri had half. And then when I weighed myself at the grocery store, I found that I was actually 2 pounds lighter than what I wanted as my minimum weight. So I felt even better about those M&M's. I may even allow myself one bag a week. What the heck? It's only 240 calories.

One of the little snack bags (the size you pass out at Halloween) per week couldn't hurt ya! Great job on the six month hiatus. If someone told me I had to give up Reece's Peanut Butter Cups for six months, well, I'd just end it all right now!

I don't share my peanut M&M's..lol! My kids get their own bags! I have a bag every Friday night after dinner. That's my eat whatever dinner night and the candy is my dessert. Eating out during the week is my problem. I love take-out food! Good job on the weight loss!! Gotta have a little bit of chocolate every week! It won't kill your waistline. You workout hard enough all week!

I agree! A bag of M&M's every week is not going to kill you at all! I eat a few hershey's kisses every once and again at work and every Christmas BF gets me a nice box of Godiva truffles that I chherish for about 6 months. Throw them in our wine fridge and take one every week or so and enjoy it immensely! I have friends that give me crap about it or co-workeres that say "I can't believe that youa re eating that" but I ignore them...chocolate is good for the soul

That is wonderful!! What willpower you have!! There's nothing like a reward to make yourself feel like a million bucks!!

I usually eat a couple little Dove dark chocolate squares ... um ... every day. But the sugar content in two is only about 7 grams. PLUS, dark chocolate is good for me, right? }(

I eat them in the trail mix I always get. The only problem is I keep eating all the m&ms first and I just have raisins and nuts. :-(
