My dear sweet mother has been baking up a holiday storm! Cookies galore. Baked goods are a bigger temptation to me than candy. The smell of the warm dough, the first bite of a cookie straight from the oven.... Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!

BUT I AM COMMITTED!
I am committed to losing weight, getting healthier and not giving into temptation.
With that commitment, I have ignored the cookies. She has baked every day of December. Every. Single. Day.
But every day is a chance to prove that I am a changed person and my will power is stronger than my temptations.
I hope by this time next year, I'll be able to indulge in a cookie or two, but until I reach my goal, no cookies for this girl!

Ok, I'm done bragging! Feel free to brag about something in your life!!!

You are AWESOME to resist the call of fresh baked cookies! Kudos to you for your solid commitment to yourself!

My turn: I declined an invite to a cookie exchange next week. Sit around piles of yummy cookies and not eat any? Why would I want to torture myself like that?! LOL

Way to go! Reading other people's successes really motivates me. Thanks for sharing!

Cattails- yay for knowing your boundaries and turning down the invite!

Agreed, and good on you *hugs*

@Bell228 It so motivates me as well!

I have to brag this morning too! This morning my boyfriend gave me the once over and said he noticed a change! It's always nice when someone else notices! I know the scale says I have lost, but I haven't felt different yet, or looked different when I look in the mirror, so it was nice to hear!

Mozzy- way to stay strong!
So today I went to a Zumba class for the first time ever even though I was having all these negative thoughts as to why I shouldn't and it rocked!!!! I got over being self conscious pretty fast & had so much fun.
