Stay strong Missy! I know if it were me, if I gave in to one bite, I'd eat the whole bar -- if I had 1 bar, I'd want 2, and then the next day I'd want 2 more....and so on... and so on.. and so on....
I think it's fine to go ahead and have a treat, but you know yourself better than anyone else. If you can do 'just one', fine. But if you're like me, then I hope you continue to resist.
I'm trying to think of it now, as how long it would take me to burn it off, and how hard I would have to work. You can burn 500 calories or more in a workout and think 'Great!', but one treat could undo all that hard work. It doesn't take long to consume 500 calories, but it is sure a lot of hard work burning it off.
I'm not really trying to give you advice, even though it kind of sounds like it. You've been so successful and are so disciplined... and I am Miss Getting Nowhere. But your ability to resist makes me stronger. Your discipline makes me more serious.
So please don't eat that candy-- for me!
