Old Habits Die HARD!

I had to go out shopping tonight for a few gifts and for some food.  For the past year going out at night, on a weekday night, after a looooooooong day with the kids, has meant two things, 1. I go out and actually buy what it was that we needed, and 2.  I've gotten some type of "treat" for myself  i.e., something at the bakery at Whole Foods, or some type of candy.  I've actually been nervous to go out at night shopping because I know that there are so many temptations out there AND because I have a habit that needs to be broken.  I'm home now and I'm happy to say that I didn't buy any treats for myself, but it wasn't easy.  It wasn't easy AT ALL!
I get to the first store, TJ Maxx, and right as I walk in I have to pass this huge display of dark chocolate bars.  I'm not one to swear or anything, but why the *#$! does TJ Maxx have to have CANDY?!  It's a CLOTHING/HOME GOODS STORE for crying out loud!!  Then I go to AC Moore (a craft store).  Once again, I had to make it past the candy display at the front of the CRAFT STORE!  I'm not going to lie, I stopped and stared at the candy at BOTH stores, but I walked away empty handed.
When I got to the car and went to put my bags in the back I realized that I had my HUSBAND'S CAR, and the Halloween candy was WITH ME!  I grabbed a Reese's pb cup, got in the front seat, and I held it in my hand.  I was going to eat it, and then I said "NO!"  I'd been so good today and I wasn't about to throw it all out the window (well actually, I could have thrown the Reese's out the window)!!  I chucked it in the back seat.  I almost cried.
Where did I go next?  Whole Foods!  There is stuff there on sale this week that I HAD to get.  Yes yes, I could have sent my husband but I was already out and knew what I needed to get.  Did I go through the bakery section?  Yes.  Was it torture?  Yes.  Did I get anything?  No.  Did I feel like my head was going to explode and that I would burst into tears?  Yes.
HUGE MASSIVE SIGH.  I'm home now and I'm dessert free...another victory....and it was a tough victory (I'm feeling a little like Rocky tonight...that shopping experience beat the crap out of me mentally).
