rabbit Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 My biggest weakness is Papa Gino's cheese bread (I know, it's lame and gross.) Yesterday I was at a friends' house and they ordered tons of Papa Ginos including, you guessed it, cheese bread. I was really hungry, but I knew that when my boyfriend picked me up I had food I could cook at home. Normally, I would have fought it for two minutes then chowed down. But, I looked at it through the eyes of an assassin and thought, "I can't damage my body like that. The planet won't be safe from the vampires I'm here to slay if I get slowed down." So, not only did I resist my kryptonite, I dropped to the floor and did pushups. I'm grateful for Steve's post on embracing the weird. I live my whole life embracing weird and not giving a damn what people think of my strange clothes and behavior, but I've ALWAYS felt self conscious turning down food and doing exercise to fight it even though I need to.I got through the temptation and went home and cooked some real food. Might not seem like much, but this is huge for me. I've felt like a slave to crap food and sedentary lifestyle for years, and I'm so proud of myself for accomplishing that small goal.

SkiBlue Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Resisting temptation is always huge, especially when it is against one of your ultimate weaknesses. Little victories pile up and help you get where you need to go. I've been having a similar battle myself. Congrats on this fight! LEVEL 1 REBEL Link to comment
Chanda Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Just reading about these cheese bread I never even knew existed makes me want to eat it. You are a stronger vampire than me... well I am not a vampire... but you get the idea!Way to go! Keep it up!
