ADDicT

I am addicted to many things: Shopping, Desperate Housewife's, sleeping, and of course Michael (just can't get enough of him!) But the thing that I am most addicted to: CANDY!!
Seriously, LOVE IT! CAN'T EVER HAVE ENOUGH OF IT!!! I have always loved candy, and I know what you are thinking, "everyone loves candy". . . but I am pretty sure I take that love of candy to the extreme. At work, I am surrounded by it. My job duties include making Costco runs to make sure that we have enough goodies and snacks for all trainings and classes (and there are a lot!) So of course there is always candy not even a step away. On my desk I have a cute little dish that is always full of Peanut M&M's. Then at home, I pride myself in my candy basket. Anyone who has ever been to my house knows that there will always be candy to snack on. I just love it.
My average day, I have at least 6 or 7 pieces of candy (this could be a mini candy bar, or a handful of hot tamales, or M&M's or just a Laffy Taffy or Tootsie Roll). But it isn't just a piece and I am good, it is a handful. And this is EVERYDAY!
So I decided last Thursday - after my first meeting of The Biggest Loser Challenge that I am doing, I decided that enough is enough! I work my butt of going to the gym 5 or 6 times a week but I don't see any kind of a difference. Well HELLO! Its all of the candy you eat! So as of today it has been 1 week and 1 day with NO CANDY!!! And I haven't even had any real cravings either! The first day was the hardest, I am so used to just grabbing a handful as I walk to take the mail around, or as I am sitting at my computer for 8 hours a day.
So there you have it, I just thought I would take a moment to brag - because you know, this might NEVER again happen in my lifetime! I was thinking maybe I will go until we go on vacation at the end of March - that would be 1 month! Maybe?. . . Eh, maybe not =). I will let you know.
