Sabotage?

Last night my husband was sitting beside me and he said he was getting a surprise at work this Friday.  I said what surprise, thinking that maybe he was buying something from someone he worked with.  Well he proudly announced that to help out some charity he had bought a dozen doughnuts from Krispy Kreme.  I said are you crazy why would you get something like that to bring in this house when you know I'm trying to lose weight.  He said he thought the kids would enjoy them and that he was trying to do something nice to help out the cause that people were selling them for.  Now it is not like him at all to pay $7.00 for a dozen doughnuts and if I had done that he would have said I was crazy.  I feel strong enough to resist the urge to eat them but why would I set myself up for temptation when I don't have to plus honestly my kids don't need them either.  He saw how upset I was and said that he would just keep them at work and give them out to his friends but sometimes I just feel like he is out to sabotage me, I've even told him so.  He says he's not but I called him a food pusher last night because he is always asking me if I want this or want that and I have to say no.  All I can say is thank God my willpower is so strong.

Do you have people in your life that you feel are out to sabotage you? What do you do to keep this from happening?

Saying NO

Saying NO has to be one of the hardest things you have to do when losing weight.  My kids and my mom wanted to go out to eat today after we went shopping for school supplies well my son suggested going to an all you can eat buffet restaurant, I had to immediately say NO because I knew I would lose all control if I went.  Well we decided to go to Bob Evans instead, I figured I could find something healthy to eat there.  I ended up getting a turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato and ranch on a whole wheat wrap and a baked potato which wasn't the healthiest thing but it was alot better than inhaling 5 lbs of food at the all you can eat restaurant.  Well my kids just had to have dessert so I sat there and suffered through watching them eat ice cream sundaes and peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream but it felt really good to have enough self control not to eat any.  So many times we are faced with saying NO and sometimes we fail but today was a success for me.  Another example was Sunday when my mom, dad and my kids went to a family reunion and of course when they brought my kids home my mom had the cake she had fixed and she said here you can have it and I said NO I don't want that here but the kids wanted it so here it stayed.  I will say I did take one bite but it was so sweet that was all I could eat.  Well the next day my mom sends home a small bowl of banana pudding with my kids and I will admit I took a couple of bites of that because I love banana pudding.  Sometimes you can't avoid temptation and you just have to face it straight on.  I hope I can continue to have this much self control and having this blog has really helped me alot.  I'm learning to stand up for what I want and not worry about hurting someone elses feelings because this is my journey and I have to do whats best for me.
