Small NSV: "I really don't want this"
 

So I didn't exercise this morning because I was up late doing my hair and I promised myself I would eat reasonably well because of that...

fast forward to right now: I didn't eat breakfast because work was really hectic this morning and I had Vietnamese for Lunch and it was good, I only ate about half of it because I just wasn't hungry and then I start getting the dreaded "sweet tooth" and I really really really want ice cream. I calculated and figure that I could just squeeze by if I get a children's scoop. But laziness wins out in the end (the freakin ice cream shop is two blocks away!) and so I decide to hit up the small Starbucks in my building and I get a non-fat milk strawberries and creme frappucino with whipped cream. I get back to my office and I eat the whipped cream off the top (as I always do) and then I realize: I don't want this drink anymore it hit me like a ton of bricks.

I just didn't want it anymore, so I threw it away, I wasted 3 bucks, but I saved myself over 200 calories.

Small NSV, indeed.

woot! Congrats! :carrot:

Good job! Sucks about wasting $3, but now you'll know better next time. :)

Grats!

I've been doing that quite often, lately. I've got eyes that are wayyyy bigger than my stomach these days. I guess my head is still kinda stuck in my old eating habits. The other day, my friend and I ordered Olive Garden chicken alfredo and we split it. I took my portion of it and looked at it sadly, just "knowing" it wasn't going to be enough. But I ended up stuffed by the time I was done with dinner.

It feels great when something like that happens. I'm sure this won't be the last time you have this NSV. Good job! Keep it up... :)

that is so awesome! sometimes those are the best nsv's especially for us prone to binging.

i had one of those light bulb moments late this summer. i was eating a store bought cookie at a picnic. cookies are pretty rare for me, but i decided it was ok for that day. as i was eating it i was thinking about how it tastes. chewing it. half way through i realize. this doesn't taste good. it didn't taste the way i wanted it too. had sorta an after taste i guess. so i decided to throw it away, and felt proud i realized it, and stopped. the old me would have ate it anyway. :)

side note. i have all these weird memories, expectations with cookies. like most people love chocolate chip. but when i was growing up my grandma made hers with too few chips, and she used shortening or something. they had an aftertaste. so even though most choc. chip cookies are delicious, i still prefer other kinds. other than that she baked lots of yummy stuff. it would be great if i could make everything she made with no butter lol.

I do this a lot. I'll often start eating something and then think- I really don't want this or need it. I waste money, but I save in calories.

Nice! Good for you! :)

So then I went out and had carrot cake...bu tanother small NSV I couldn't finish it...it was too rick and sweet. I hope this keeps up!
