Eh...

  • Didn't do as well as I'd hoped today (staff party and TGIF), but I also didn't use the gatherings as an excuse to gorge myself. Made the choice to try the things that looked the tastiest (although I had planned to stay completely on plan) and stopped before I felt full, and had a couple hard ciders at the bar - no where near perfect, but sooo much improved over the past. Simultaneously a touch disappointed and a touch happy
  • sounds to me like you were perfectly IN CONTROL...
    1. not making excuses
    2. didn't go overboard
    3. tasted before you gorged it down
    4. stopped when you were full
    5. recognized that there is always room for a little improvement
    6. allowed yourself to reflect over the moment, and feel happy about your ability to get yourself into a situation that clearly takes most people over the edge, yet you remined poised and confident and in control!!!

    SOUNDS LIKE SUCCESS TO ME!! WELL DONE!!


  • Yay! Congrats! I, too, stayed *almost*
    on plan today.

    I resisted:
    * Fudge
    * Peanut Brittle
    * Hard Tack
    * Caramel

    I did allow myself some warm tea with
    milk and sugar.
  • Sounds like you handled a tough situation pretty well! It could have been much worse and you remained in control
  • Definitely sounds like a victory! YOUR CHOICES are the victory. The fact that YOU made the decision to eat or drink something rationally. That is something many of us are fighting for! Congrats!
