I managed to turn down chocolate cake and caramel rolls, from a 79 year old lady!! She is the person that I have the most trouble saying no to, because I don't want to hurt her feelings. To my surprise, she was actually proud of me for saying, "NO THANK YOU" Somehow I just need to get her to not even offer the stuff to me.
I was pre-cooking spaghetti and meatballs for later in the week. And I said no to eating it today instead, because I know I don't have enough points today.
I knew my friend and I were going to go out tonight for dessert -- I just got a raise (woohoo!) and we planned a celebration ahead of time. Instead of blowing the whole day, I counted my calories carefully and saved enough room to be able to have cake with her. Double woohoo! I feel really good about it.
Last night: Starbucks: I was there for a skinny latte. I saw cupcakes (had never seen them before @ Starbucks): choc, vanilla, Red Velvet! They looked really good. I figured they were probably 450 cal, and I resisted.
I looked it up today: Good thing I resisted : the calories ranged from from 410for vanilla, 420 for chocolate, to 450 for the Red Velvet one!!
That would definitely have to be something I "saved up" calories for on a special day.
today is officially day 7 of no binging...well tonight, so if i make it tonight its a week of no binging. Im down 3 lbs..im happy with that. Last night I went to the 99 with a couple friends. Very determined to do well and stick to my diet I ordered a buffalo chicken salad with blu cheese crumbles, forgot to ask for grilled chicken so it came back with delicious looking fried chicken tenders smoothered in buffalo sauce mmmm I ate 1 of the 5 fried tenders and some letus and tomatoe and a very litte bit of the blu cheese. I EVEN HAD THE LEFTOVERS IN MY FRIDGE ALL NIGHT INCLUDING COUNTRY FRIED CHICKEN FOR SOMEONE ELSE AND DIDDNT THING TWICE ABOUT THEM!!!! i feel really good today
I turned down this filling cake called Devil Dog... it is a chocolate cake with a cream filling.... It wasn't the hardest thing to say no to, but it was tempting...
I have said no to Diet Dr. Pepper two days in a row now.
I keep reading here that you should cut out diet soda however, I am not sure why. Any how, I decided to give it a try and see if it helped any since I am stuck.
