Veil, what a great thing to say, "yes!" to! I love reggae.

I said no to ice cream today (husband had a tonsillectomy so we have ice cream in the house) and then when I went shopping, I said no to 72% dark chocolate. I was very very close to rationalizing buying this item. On my particular diet, chocolate this dark is allowed in small quantities, but I need to break myself of this habit.

What I hope is that I can do this way of eating all the way to maintenance and THEN I can switch to eating small amounts of dark chocolate for treats. For now, I need to be strict to break my mind of the craving.

Said no to pizza for luch and ice cream for dessert. i will stick to my tuna salad(tuna straight out the can no mayo) for lunch.

I literally found a Cadbury Cream Egg sitting by my front door (I am sure it belongs to one of my 4 children) I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these things. My eyes lit up, I grabbed it and started unwrapping it. But as I did I started thinking, do I really want to waste my calories on this or set myself up for failure the rest of the day.

I wrapped it back up, put it out of sight, and walked away! Whoo Hoo!

WOW green fish girl!!! Good job!!

I said NO to cheese cake last night. and creme puffs. and sugery soda... (closing party after final night in kids school play) Whew. I feel so proud this morning, even though it was just a little victory.

I said no to doughnuts. I had a huge craving for doughnuts, or maybe pie, or maybe some kind of tarts. You know, one of those kinds of cravings where you just want some kind of dessert.

Instead, I bought a bunch of healthy protein and energy bars---they are still sweet, and help me with the whole wanting something sweet and crunchy, but I don't think they are as bad as having a slice of pie or deep fried dough.

Said "NO" to a nice spread at a funeral... ate almonds & cranberries in the car on the way home. YAY ME!!

I said no to buying doughnuts and cheetos. I really wanted them, but hadn't tried them before and didn't want to buy something I may end up not liking.

I said "No!" to going out to eat with my family to get hamburgers and fries for dinner. I heated up some left-over chicken and noodles (with broccoli and carrots) instead, and it was delicious! And then I had a banana with a tablespoon of peanut butter as a snack. :)

I say no to soda every day.

-Dhani :queen:

well,
 

It's a start...but I said no to a giant milkshake today and split a small one with my bf... does that count?

Night Angel- YES it counts!! Good job.

I said NO to a fridge full of Memorial Day leftovers... grilled meats, cheeses, fatty potato salad...ahhhh!!!

I said NO to some sugar and chocolate waffle cookies sitting at the lunchroom table right now!!!
:(

I said no to snacking at work when lunch for our kids arrived. I pack my own lunch and eat during my break. I avoided their food which is all ordered from companies, horribly processed and just tossed into an oven to heat. I said no to their lunch and their snack and ate my own food.

i said no to eating after 9p!

i said NO to finishing my big plate of chinese food ( only ate half :D:D )

I'm saying "No!!" to snacking right now!! I need distractions! Help! :o

I said no to cookies at my daughter's preschool class party. I had no idea how liberating it would feel.

I said no to more than one piece of garlic bread (150 cals each!) with dinner....which was hard since it is one of my favorite foods!

;)I said no to eating out and to dessert!! I had a great day!!!!

I said NO to another piece of pizza. Only had 1.5 pieces and NO breadsticks! Big victory dance going on here!

nooooo
 

I said no to fast food of all types today...even the mcds mocha frappe.... (btw they recalled those shrek cups if anyone is interested)

lol reading this thread makes me hungry! so ill just list what I said "no" to today and get out of here haha.

well lets see.. today I successfully refrained myself from
1. root beer
2. taro milk tea with bubbles --- which has over 400 cals!

Today is my Bday & my BF made a cake for me. She didnt know I had just started my diet. Last nite after DH took me out to dinner (steak for my low carb diet) I took the cake she made me over to the neighbors (we go over there every weekend to sit by the fire pit) & gave the neighbor guy The cookies we had left from Memorial weekend & cake. My DH had a piece but I did not.

Yesterday, I said no to fast food. I was getting a bit hungry and just as a habit, I got in line and ordered a burger from burger king. then I remembered that i was trying to avoid beef, so I got out of line. I am sure the guy at the drive-thru was wondering where I went.

Today, I avoided buying a bagel. I wanted one, but i is a huge, massive, carb ball and might make me hungry later on in the day. too many carbs at once, I felt. So, I got a smaller snack instead.

Yay!!! :)

I said no to leftover pizza for lunch.

Today, I said NOOOOOO to the rest of the cake that was made for me yesterday! Made DH take it to the office!

I said no to the cheesy pasta that was screaming my name from the mini fridge at work. Instead I went with lentil soup and low fat yogurt for dessert! mmm!!!

I said NO to the eclair. Not gonna lie, it was *really* hard because I LOVE them, but no I said and I'm glad I did!

I said no to a big bowl of ice cream and had a 60 calorie sugar free pudding cup (which was more than enough!) :)

Eating while I was preparing my dinner.
I almost lost a little control today, but I didnt over eat, I just ate a little faster than I have the past couple of days. Just came in from a 1.5 hour walk and I don't have the desire to eat anymore like I did when I was forcing myself off the couch and out the door!

Last night I was alone at home (bf was working), I cooked a pizza and said no to eating the whole thing, even tho it was a small one.

Prouuuuuud :carrot:

I just said no to candy bars! Yay!

"Get out of my face, you stupid candy bar! You don't know me! I don't need you in my life!"

Said NO to eating more than three mini cookies today! Dumped the rest of bag in the trash before I lost control. :woohoo:

Hubby got Supreme Pizza! I only ate 1 Piece! Made me a Brocolli Cole Slaw with Slivered Almonds & Pineapple to eat with it. It was Yummy & the 1 Piece satisfied my Pizza Craving! Felt Very proud afterwards! :bravo:

cheese doodles!!
