sweet victory.

Today is day #5 (of my no sweets for 5 days challenge)! I've survived the past 4 days!

It hasn't been easy but it hasn't been as hard as I thought either.

Yesterday I had a big victory!

One of my coworkers went to Subway for lunch and came back with chocolate chip cookies for my coworkers and I. When he handed me mine (which I knew I couldn't have), I didn't want to be rude and decline (or explain my challenge) so I graciously took the delicious looking cookie.


I told myself that instead of throwing it away, I was going to bring it home to my boyfriend. So there it was sitting next to me on my desk at work... just staring at me with its chocolaty goodness.

I let it sit there for a while before realizing I was only taunting myself... so I wrapped it up and put it in my purse.

I'm happy to say that I didn't eat the cookie and in fact did give it to my boyfriend (while he enjoyed it, I ate some gluten free pretzels).

I'm glad I overcame my urge to eat it and became one day closer to going 5 days without sweets!
