3 big hurdles today

Today has been a pretty good day so far.  I was just working along, being somewhat productive and then it happens!  I open my desk drawer and dig under some papers and see a Butterfinger candy bar.  Not the miniature one either.  The full size candy bar.  Well my first thought was, "I will just save this because you never know when one day I might be having a breakdown and need something like this."  So I closed my drawer and I continued working.  A little bit later (after the picture of the candy bar wouldn't leave my mind) I thought "you know what......I don't want that candy bar and I sure don't need to save it to temp me later on."  So what did I do?  I opened my drawer, grabbed the candy bar and threw it in the trash can.  I made sure to open it to before I threw it away just so that the actual candy bar would be touching other trash and I wouldn't be tempted to change my mind!  Hurdle #1 done!  Yay me!  Then it is lunch time and I am waiting on a conference call to take place before I go back to the break room to eat my lunch.  At this point I am pretty hungry.  It's going on 12:30 pm.  All of the sudden one of my favorite doctors comes by and tells me to come back to the conference room to watch a video he made of him skiing.  He said that others were coming back and that he had ordered pizza for everyone.  I'm thinking.....oh my gosh....I have been craving pizza for a couple weeks now....and not the lean cuisine pizza but a good ole pizza from Dominos or Papa Johns.  Not wanting to be rude and not go, after I finished my conference call I went back to the conference room.  I could smell the pizza before I even turned the corner.  I walk in and everybody is saying....grab you some pizza and have a seat.  I politely said no thank you...I just came to watch the video.  I have my lunch in the break room.  So I sat through the video enduring the smell of pizza and yes it was from Dominos!  As soon as that video was over, I was out of there so fast and headed to the break room to eat my frozen dinner.  I probably looked like my butt was on fire as fast as I was walking because I was starving!  Hurdle #2 done....yay me!  Then I come back to my office after eating my lunch, which by the way, I was completely satisfied at this point.  I open up my file cabinet to grab something and what do I find?  A bag of peanut butter cup cookies that I forgot was in there.  Oh no!  Not again!  This time I didn't even think about it.  I just grabbed the ziplock back opened it up and tossed them in the trash can.  The candy bar and the cookies have been here for at least a month or more because I didn't even realize I had them since I have started my diet.  So hurdle #3 done!  YAY ME!  I was so proud of myself for being able to toss those things in the trash and not give into temptation.  The fat girl side of me said eat it....that aint gonna hurt you.  But the skinny girl inside was SCREAMING....don't do it because it isn't going to taste as good as skinny is gonna feel.  Plus I am going to see my new PCP tomorrow and I know I will have to get on the scales.  I am anxious to see if I have lost anymore weight since I last weighed in with the nutrionist.  14 lbs. down and I certainly don't want to start going back up!  Proud of myself today!  :)
