Saying No to Temptation

Temptation is a pain most of the time, but learning how to say no will help you in the long run.  Temptation was knocking at my door yesterday.  We went to my parents' house yesterday so that my hubby could help them with a few things. As soon as we left our house I had this overwhelming urge to go buy a cup of coffee.  Which I ignored and the urge was subdued (score for me).  About an hour after we get over there my wonderful Dad is trying to come up with ideas to feed everyone (my sister, brother in law and 2 nieces were there too), not that anyone asked him to he just felt he needed to feed us.  He pipes up that he'll order some pizza.  **Red Flag Warning**  I immediately tell him that no, we don't need pizza, we just ate lunch and we'll be fine (score for me).  As the afternoon progresses he's still talking about pizza, so my sister and I ran to the store and came home with turkey burgers (score for me).  Everyone was happy with the turkey burgers, not only did it save calories and points it saved him a good chunk of change too.  Let me tell you, ordering pizzas in Alaska is NOT cheap!  It was a huge win win for everyone.  I was proud of myself as well, because that pizza sounded good, but I knew with my weigh in on Monday that if I had pizza today it would only do me in, and I have a fun competition going with one of my best friends and right now she's kicking my bootie.  Of course I hope to change that come Monday afternoon. :)  By the time I got home I had managed to still have a good amount of points left over for the day, however it was 10:30 at night and I wasn't about to eat then.  Which unfortunately blew my goal of trying to eat every single point every day.  The good thing, I wasn't starving so I didn't feel like I was suffering.
