I did it!
Today was the bridal shower and I made it through only eating healthy foods. I debated all morning long about if I was going to allow myself to eat the cake. I exercised 1st thing this morning and was planning to take healthy snacks in case the food wasn’t on my plan. As I have learned, life with kids doesn’t always go as planned. We were 30 minutes late getting out the door and I truly forgot about my snacks until I was about 20 miles from home. Fortnately they had an egg dish for the meal and there wasn’t a cake in sight. Knowing I had only allowed myself to eat cake (if anything) I passed by the cinnamon rolls, fruit and donuts without a 2nd look (ok, without a 3rd look :) Then, after gifts were opened, they brought out the cake. I was actually going to have a piece but all of the people at my table said no so due to positive peer pressure I also turned it down.
I know it would not have been the end of the world if I had eaten it but I am so proud of myself that I made the proper choice. And my FIRM DVD’s came in the mail today, maybe a “Way to go” message from God and the US Postal Service. I know my weight might still be up a bit this week but I am feeling re-energized and motivated again.
Yay! Great job on passing up the refined carb treats! And best of all, next time you’re in a social eating situation, you’ll *know* you can make the right choices, because you’ve already done it!
