Defeating the Candy Drawer From Hell

My challenge for today was babysitting for a friend of mine.  Last time I babysat for her, I ended up in a bingo-o-rama from her snack drawer.  Jelly beans, chocolate, candy of all kinds.  Knowing this, I prepped myself all day long for being at her house for over 8 hours with the candy drawer of temptation.  I even packed my own dinner so I wouldn't be at the mercy of whatever was on the menu for the kids tonight.

That darn drawer has been taunting me from the moment I stepped into the house.  I gave in to temptation.  I ate a handful of jelly beans.  Here's the crazy thing; I don't even really like jelly beans, and as I was eating them, I told myself they weren't even that tasteful.  Yet I continued to eat them up.  Just because I could.

However, last time I was here, I ate about 10 handfuls of jelly beans, followed by several mouthfuls of other candy bits.  This time, it was just one handful.  And still, I have yet to eat chocolate :)  Tonight I defeated the candy drawer from hell.

Also the last time I was here, I stepped on their scale.  That was the scale that read 158 and when I really made my decision to adopt a healthier lifestyle of eating.  Today I stepped on their scale and it read 151!  Seven pounds.  Seven Pounds.  SEVEN POUNDS!  Proof that my hard work and dedication really is paying off.
