The kids wanted popcorn for their snack today and all we had was the movie theater butter stuff packed with butter and calories, so I got a grapefruit and started eating it while it popped. The strong grapefruit taste and a full belly allowed me to pass up the popcorn  I wasn't sure it would work, but it did
High five to everyone, keep it up!

This is a good thread. I did not get a hamburger or fries when I went to McD's today.

Today I opened up a mini Kit-Kat... but I broke half off and threw it away! I only ate one half of it and was able to satisfy my chocolate craving and not binge. Definite progress for me....

I cleared my pantry of crap and am going to ask my kid to put her Halloween candy and GREAT BIG JAR OF CASHEWS ( a fave binge food of mine) away somewhere so I don't have to look at them as soon as she gets home from school.
I ate well yesterday and am doing fine today.
Congratulations to all of you especially RN who got rid of a toxic person. I know that feeling. It's like losing 150 lbs!

I had a whole bar of chocolate today, at work. But rather than continuing to do unhealthy choices, I worked out at night and then had a fruit only dinner.

WTG Stella! It can be so hard to keep on-track after making one unhealthy choice in the day. Way to recover
I walked instead of taking the bus to meet my friend AND I ordered a plain black coffee instead of my usual sugary chai.
I am just starting to realize how many decisions there are like this, every single day -- the little things that make or break my weight loss! Now I just need to remember how good I feel when I make the healthier choices.

I added ground flax to my breakfast the past few days. It does have calories but on the plus side I felt full longer. I'd rather have calories from that extra fiber than cookies.

Today I went home to have lunch instead of going out to eat with coworkers. I had some broccoli and tuna instead.
JayBird -- WTG on the flax. It's definitely better to have calories from fiber instead of cookies

Definitely! It`s a lifestyle, that`s how I see int now. Not: "I did well for lunch, so now I can have the sugary snack." To me, success is the summary of healthy choices.

Yesterday I went out to eat with friends and I ordered a drink, which isn't the ideal scenario. I know I was over 2000 calories yesterday as a result. HOWEVER I limited myself to ONE drink, and didn't order any food. I only had a couple bites of other people's dishes while they plowed through nachos and hamburgers slathered with cheese.
Also when I got tired later in the night, instead of drinking a calorie-filled energy drink, I got a little 5-hour energy thing with only 4 calories in it.
My SO said the other day that my exercising routine is starting to show... that gives me even more motivation to keep being awesome! My eating habits are still far from perfect but I'm encouraged by how they're improving every day.
Day 5 binge-free for me.

Today I felt really tired (I binged yesterday and haven't slept well the past couple days), but I did an hour-long workout anyway. I didn't get through it as well as I do some days, but I did everything I possibly could and didn't beat myself up too much over it.

This is a nice thread, good vibes.
Tonight I'm on a night shift, the guys I work with have just decided to get McDonalds, and I am proud of myself for not ordering one thing. McDonalds is a rotten evil corporation and I have never once had anything from there and not felt sick in my gut, and majorly guilty afterwards.. As tempting as it can be! Tonight I planned ahead and brought curried lentils so I have filled up on something natural and healthy, and not processed chemically crap.
Go me!

Today i resisted buying anything at the market that I would be tempted to binge on and for an evening snack I ate a celery stick, 3 grapes and 3 baby carrots instead of going for something else!
