Weight Loss Support - I ate carrots instead

I was craving for chocolate like crazy. I went to the fridge, grabbed a Hershey's Bar and stood there for 2 mins (with the fridge open). I told myself, there is nothing good for you in that chocolate bar.I put it back and grabbed 2 carrots and 3 strawberries instead. Had them for a snack. Never before have I denied myself chocolate for carrots :) I am proud of myself.

THATS AWESOME!!!

well done, seriously thats amazingly good, bravo xxxxxxxxxxx

Wow...
WOW!
Good for you!

Yay!

That clearly calls for a dancing produce party!

great job i find myself doing almost the same thing. "do i really need this no i do not just put it daown and go do something else to distrack yourself" and it works.

I am impressed. And you actually had it IN your hand! Very well done!!
Send that good stuff my way! :)

You should be proud!!!!!!!!!!! WoooHOO!!!!!!!!!

Good job!!:carrot:

Now... why did you have a hershey's bar in your fridge?? :club:

Way to go!!! Now that you've done it once - you know for sure that you can indeed do it - and then you can do it again - and again!!! You build confidence. This IS big stuff.

That's awesome!

And the thing is you'll NEVER regret skipping the chocolate and having carrots, you'll only be proud!

Good job!!:carrot:

No, no, believe me, I didn't buy them for myself :p
It is my toddler girl's snack for when she get backs from daycare :)

That's awesome!

And the thing is you'll NEVER regret skipping the chocolate and having carrots, you'll only be proud!

Very true. The days when I do eat my chocolate, I feel like crap while eating it and also after eating it.

With carrots, I enjoy it while eating, after eating and most of all posting about it in 3FC and seeing all the positive responses.:lol:

Way to go!!! Now that you've done it once - you know for sure that you can indeed do it - and then you can do it again - and again!!! You build confidence. This IS big stuff.

Yes. It felt powerful to put that down and get the carrots. Whenever I give-in and indulge, I end up feeling powerless and embaressed.

Hey, I just want to add in here, and I hope I don't offend you at all, that your daughter does not necessarily need chocolate when she gets home from daycare. She's young and it's really not the best snack. How about a sliced apple with some peanut butter? Or some yogurt with some crunchy granola type cereal in it? Or a string cheese with a pear? Grapes? Or even those baby carrots that you ate? With some other veggies - cucumber spears, brocoli florets, maybe dipped in a little chummus? Kids are really never too young to eat healthy and form good habits. :)

Hi, I wanted say congratulations on learning something HUGE and vitally important for yourself. I also wanted to suggest that you let these new lessons carry over for your daughter. The reason I say this, I gained all of my wonderful food addiction habits, from my mother back when I was a very young child - except that she always had a plate of cookies for me when I got home from kindergarten. It is never too early to learn healthy habits. Again, you are doing an awesome job and have given me inspiration. :carrot:

SUPERB!!! Here's to a lesson learned, strength gained, and confidence built. Inspiring for everyone else too!!

Thanks to everyone for your encouraging words.

For those who suggested about my daughter eating healthy, I fully agree. She already loves her veggies and fruits (especially brocolli; Maybe she was switched by the nurse when she was born :) ). I include good portions of veggies with every meal and fruits for snacks and dessert. This is her only indulgence everyday. So, I really don't mind.

isnt it great wen u get satisfaction like that?!....
wicked....

I am printing out your post and putting it on my fridge. A true inspiration, especially today! Thank you!
