Good going guys- really good to see you using the blog already :-) You're right, temptation is hard to avoid, but it sounds like Connor's got it cracked- half the battle is being prepared. So long as you have an alternative it's much easier to stick with that than have nothing at all, and just like the intervals, it might be more difficult at the time but you'll feel really good afterwards.
That said you don't have to be a complete martyr- I generally use a 90% rule, which means you can treat yourself the remaining 10%, but make sure it is just 10%, and make sure you really savour the treat. It's amazing how good just one square of chocolate tastes if it's really good chocolate and you just close your eyes and let it slowly melt in your mouth :-)
It'll be good to see what Discover Health have to say tomorrow and feel free to ask them for ideas on coping strategies for situations like these.
Good work on the research too Jeremy- you beat me to it. I'm loving the big silly hat theme, but we might have to tone down the public displays of nudity for our acceptance speech at prize-giving! ;-)
Keep up the good work folks!
Brendan
