Temptation At The Toughest Time - Battling The Bulge

So now that I have been back, I am on my old workout program, etc. But last night, I had the biggest craving for M&Ms. I tried to resist it, but I could not.
I went to the store with the intent of buying a large bag of M&Ms and a gallon of milk. Yeah, yeah...how bad can you get.
I reached for the bag and then looked at the label.
9 servings per bag and 220 calories per serving.
A whopping 1980 calories....WTF?!?!
I never knew there was that much in a large family size bag - b/c like most americans, I do not always read the labels on my food.
After wrestling back and forth, I ended up getting a diet coke and a chocolate mint

I never used to read labels either...then I started and took a bit of control and I'm almost 100 pounds lighter! I still treat myself once in a while and pretend the label isn't there...but it sounds like you did that on vacation a bit. You made a wise decision!

Thats my biggest weakness on the battle of the bulge...candy/sweets. I've been pretty good the last few weeks about it, but it is hard. Vacations are made to cheat and enjoy though :)

When you go home, you eat...that's what you do. M&Ms are like a crack addiction. I love peanut M&Ms
