Hooray! Enabler = 0 , Me = 1
As I get started on my weight-loss, a small victory was achieved today and I wanted to share it, as others may face the same obstacle.
I have lunch with my parents every Saturday. Like many others, my mom is my #1 Enabler. I phoned her two days ago to let her know that I had started MRC and that I would be bringing my own food on the weekends. She reacted by going to the grocery store and buying EVERYTHING that I love.
I showed up today with the bowl containing my salad (measured, weighed and prepared at home) and my 32oz bottle of water. Sure enough, the kitchen was lined with my favorite goodies: German chocolates and candies, Pepsi in the fridge, ice cream in the freezer.
My mom tried to push the treats off on me for the entire time I was there. I was kind but firm in my "No, I cannot have that."
I made it through three hours of temptation and for that, I am proud. The only food that I consumed was the salad I brought.
