I was recently reading a magazine that talked about turning down temptation. They suggested that if you did not initially crave into your temptation, that it would make you stronger to overcome it. So if you were at work, and someone offered you chocolate, you would look at it and say "no thank you", instead of saying "ohh, I really shouldn't have this, but oh well." You have to start somewhere. The magazine said a good exercise would be to put something you like near you, such as on your work desk, and see it, but not partake in it. This would help you to build resistance. Making one healthy choice can lead to making others, but as soon as you make that unhealthy choice, you are actually prone to stay that way, no matter how much you convenienced yourself that it would just be "this one time."
