Beer! My roommate is sitting on the couch next to me with a six-pack while watching NCIS. I, on the other hand, am contemplating how to eat 700 more calories in a healthy way to keep my day's deficit below 1000. None of my ideas involve beer. And I even went to the liquor store twice today!
i was invited to a BBQ the other day, and steaks, chicken, kebab; they had it all on the grill. all i had to eat was the garden salad and ONE little piece of chicken. i could have eaten a little bit of everything easily, but i held myself back. i was very proud of myself.
Yesterday, I was ALONE in the office with a jar of mini snickers a 1/4 of leftover chocolate birthday cake (I didn't have any when we celebrated) and a leftover bag of Chipotle chips. I had NONE of it! I actually didn't even want any of it so I can't pat myself on the back too hard. But had this been a week or two ago when I was having a MAJOR munchy phase it would have been a major problem.
Today I'm home ALONE because we are only working 32 hrs and I wasn't able to get out of the house in the am because we had a repair guy come. I just finished my pm snack and I want more of something...but instead I'm going to go hit them gym then run some errands to get myself out of the house until dinner. Go me!
i have been resisting without resisting lately. it seems to come naturally. I was hungry yesterday, and my friend sent me to burger king. I didn't want fries or a burger. It just didn't appeal to me. I was craving tuna with celery and onions instead.
today, we went out to eat breakfast--normally i want crepes loaded with fruit and whipped cream. Instead I had the spinach mushroom omelete. I also had turkey sausage with a bowl of fruit on the side. I couldn't finish my whole meal.
I really PRAISE God for the ability to NOT have those horrible cravings and insatiable hunger! I don't even want ice cream anymore. I am pretty sure the liquid diet and grapefruit--which are cleansing my system--are REALLY helping!
Today I resisted eating a juicy cheesy chicken chimichanga. It looked good. I know it tastes good. Instead, I had the roasted chicken breast AND I took the skin off.
My husband had a milkshake in the car, sitting right next to me. And the sick part? I ordered it for him. He offered me a drink and I cheerfully turned it down.
I resisted cheese in my soup. I love putting cheese in my soup, makes it sooo creamy and delicious but I know I am drinking tonight so I have to keep my points down!
