I know this is just a challenge. In normal life things will be different. But, I think this is part of the purpose is noticing the things that SHOULD be different. I went to YW tonight, had fun playing capturing the flag (always a bonus when the exercise is part of the activity), and easily refused the store bought cookies and punch. (Yeah for me)
However, when it came time for our board meeting that started at 8 (after the no eating time) and my wonderful counselor had made fresh fruit smoothies and chocolate dipped shortbread cookies the choice wasn't as easy. How do you say no without offending? I know it's OK when I am in charge of the treats, but when it is someone else it was MUCH harder. I realize this is not where the real problem in my diet occurs. It's when I am alone in the afternoon and no one can see how much of the bag of chocolate chips I ate that I have the problem. But for the challenge's sake - I SAID NO!! I feel like celebrating and throwing it in all at the same time.
I think this 12 weeks might get a little long.
YIKES

I'd have a hard time w/ that too...don't you get a free night of eating after 8? I'd move presidency meeting up :)
I do get a free night, but I don't want to give up dessert on Sunday either. I have to choose wisely :)
Refusing is okay as long as you just don't make a big deal about it. More people are offended by the dramatic story of WHY you are not eating than by just saying "No Thank You" Maybe I should not do dessert on Sunday and then you would not have to worry. (However I think this Sunday will be peach Pie:) Sorry)
