Every day in this Journey I do good things for myself, but they seem so small, sometimes I fail to notice. Sometimes I resist the doughnuts at the office, sometimes I resist pullig into the McDonald's Drive-thru and sometimes I resist sitting on my behind.
Today I resisted vanilla cream cookies!!! Yaahhh!!
It's the little things that count. If I bundle all my little success, they equal big success.
you're so right. sometimes we obsess over the little things we do wrong, and just don't realize that we're doing so much right!!!!
what have i resisted today??? nothing. i had two peanut M&Ms, and 2 pretzels. so i didn't resist. i'm finding that i'm still a stress eater, so i'm going to have to do something about this. there's no way i'm going to ruin everything i've worked so hard for!!!!!
ummmm. sandi and jennifer... thanks for the support, but the bare fact is that with my stomach pouch now the size of my thumb, eating just those two M&Ms and two pretzels filled me up!!! and so, of the 500-700 calories of healthy food i'm supposed to eat, i used up about, what, 25 or 30 calories, in absolute emptiness!!!!
so, i feel just as guilty about eating those little things as you might feel about eating a banana split!!!
but today is better. much less stressful. and i have my 'good stuff' to eat here...
Ahhhhhh, now I understand! LOL
Didn't look at it like that jiffy..was just thinking to myself I would have eaten the whole bag. Gotcha now.. Takes me a bit to get it. lol
You're right...you have the rest of the day to be OP and tomorrow is a new day!
congrats to all you resistors!!!!! control is a great thing.
and jennifer... thanks for understanding. and what's even worse is that the office manager in this place where i'm 'on freelance status until they decide to make me an offer but i'm only staying 4 weeks and making them pay me twice as muchas they'd have to if they'd hire me' [whew!] has an enormous candy dish that she keeps filled with the M&Ms. i avoid her office if at all possible, but....
and, just to cap it off, tonight was the surgery support group, and i saw both the surgeon and the nurse coordinator [who's becoming a good friend]. i told the nurse what i'd done, and she rolled her eyes, laughed loudly, and told me to GET OVER IT!!!
how's that for a health dose of reality!!!!!! just what i needed!!!!!
Today I resisted...
GREAT move, Sandi!!!
Takes me a bit to get it. lol
