Default I won a little battle today! Share yours!

Sop I won a little battle today. It felt BIG, but it was little. And it wasnt the war, but it was a win.
So I had a wonderful brerakfast this morning. Filling, healthy, tasty. But after working out, and rushing to school, a few too many hours elapsed after breakfast, and before I could get home to whip up something healthy for lunch. So since I am aware that I have little time before work, and grocery store stop I need to make, I do it on the way home. The chips were calling to me. I walk through the doors, and the hungry is quickly realised. I picked up the items I needed and found myself drifting to the chip isle . In the chip isle I walk up and down torturing myself and saying in my mind. "Your only 5 mins from home, you can wait 15 minutes to eat something". I hold onto my little black basket tight, for fear if hand becomes loose it may reach for something I really dont think equates a successful and healthy day. I text my SO, ask if there is anything we need that I am forgetting, and ask him to tell me not to buy the chips. He texts me back "Nope love, and dont buy the chips." I purchase my groceries triumpently and pat myself on the back for avoiding this temptation this time. Espcially since I gave into prigles just this last weekend. Once in a whil eis ok. Twice in three days, not so ok. So glad I had that little text of support, and so glad I am eating a delicious bean and veggie wrap on a while grain sproated tortilla. So good, so much better than half a bag of doritos......

Share your little victories!

Default Such a cool thread!

Good for you on your achievements!

Technically it was yesterday, but I resisted a lot of junky/snack foods at the grocery store which was a little hard.

Today and earlier tonight, resisted eating in the middle of the night

That's awesome ladies! It almost sounds obsessive, but having a treat once in a while is not a bad thing. It's crazy how often I was "treating", it isnt a treat when it becomes part of the norm. For me it's one of the toughest obstacles. I like exercise, and I like healthy foods. Which I count myself lucky for. But I also LOVE treating myself, and doing it almost everyday was just crazy!

Super impressive chickies. Thanks for your posts.

I got up early this morning and went for a run at 6 am. Then I walked 3 miles to work. I love it when I do that because it eases me into the workday. On my way to work, there was a breakfast truck & I had a thought of stopping. But I kept on going...

Ma26, reading this was like reading my own mind. This is exactly what I've been doing. I think I've been doing it my whole life but lately it had gotten out of control. I realized that most people don't devote a whole lot of time to thinking about what their treat is going to be, where they're going to get it, how they're going to eat it, etc. I was devoting a lot of time to that.

I had a little victory over the weekend. Took my daughter to a birthday party with pizza and cake. Ate a healthy lunch and had a big glass of water before we left so I wouldn't be tempted. And I wasn't! Yea!

These little victories combined will win the war!
