Cake at a friends Baby Shower last night! Woo!

Bad choice of using no on my part today...

I said no to choosing oatmeal at mcdonalds when I was getting a late breakfast rushing to work and chose the steak bagel....bad choice to say no too....

No to chocolate chip cookies and ice cream yesterday :D
No to pizza today :D

I said no to that steak bagel meal today and yesterday...Woohoo, I'm proud of me....

Oh, this thread is a good one. I say "no" to something every day.

What I say "no" to most often:
-Whatever my fiancé cooked for dinner (because it doesn't fit into my diet)
-Skipping a workout
-Sweets
-Cheese (oh, I miss cheese)

I said no to burger king for breakfast.

Yesterday I said no to all the food leftover from a luncheon that was right outside my cubicle: it included 2 kinds of cake, yellow rice, cuban pork. I said yes to some of the cherry tomatoes on top of the nearly untouched salad and brought them home to include in a planned meal.

Today I said no to everything else on a yummy restaurant menu and got a salad with romaine and vegetables with grilled shrimp and a small serving of hummus.

I said no to a piece of chocolate cake and ice cream!

I said No to saying No! Instead of not going out and running I did it and boy am I happy I did!!!!!

I said no to beating myself up today. I am going to be understanding of the fluctuations involved with weight loss. I will accept this one as the first of MANY to come! I am happy with myself and the journey that I have begun. I will stick to it and I will get to my goal weight.

I said no to free cake in the office...mad that I had to say it but glad that I had the willpower to say it!!!:carrot:

Buckeyes (chocolate and peanutbutter= VERY hard to resist!)

So we have food in my office all the time. Not exaggerating, it's not like twice a week, literally all the time! So far this week we've had 2 cakes, brownies, and buckeyes out on the filing cabinet all day to torture me. Last week we had two more cakes, pizza, and random other snacks. It's really rediculous.

And me? Well, I've said yes to just about every one of those things until today. Last night I stayed up thinking about how I lost 55 lbs and the resolve I had last year. I said "no" a lot last year... without hesitation or regret. I was very happy with my choices and it wasn't hard to make them because look at the results! Then somewhere along the way, I became content, and food became VERY tempting again. But I'm not happy with where my body is, so I decided last night that starting today I needed to find my former resolve and choose my health over food that is gone in moments. So far day one went well, but there are still some buckeyes left for me to resist tomorrow.

I'm so proud of myself!

I had to stop and get gas this afternoon after work. When I went into pay, they had candy bars on sale 4 for $2 in a big bin right by the register. I'm always hungry for a snack after I get off work and normally, I would have grabbed 4 of them and secretly chowed them down on my way home.

But not today! I seriously sat there and contemplated it while I waited for the line to move. I counted the calories in my head and figured that it would take me 3 hours of solid jogging to burn that off. But man, the chocolate looked good. I probably looked like an insane woman standing there staring at the Milky Ways for so long and so intensely. Instead, I came home and ate a single 90 calorie granola bar for a snack - definitely a better choice.

I said no to the lovely homemade cake a coworker brought in to our morning meeting (really? a cake at 9 am? is anytime safe to go to a meeting?)

I think video-conference is the only safe route. Of course my work doesn't have food during the meetings (which are just an hour one day a week). No, we just have food all the rest of the time!

I was feeling sleepy and unproductive around 4pm today so I went to the coffee shop downstairs to get coffee and I really wanted something to eat with it. The scones and bagels were especially tempting. But then I asked myself if I was truly hungry (that stomach rumbling kind of hungry) and I knew I wasn't, so I was able to get out of there calorie free! I was so proud of myself!

I said no to seconds. I made this awesome spaghetti and it was so good- but I said no to seconds. :)

I said no to chocolate chip ice cream today. One of my favorite flavors too. Instead, I ate my Activia yogurt. :)

I said "no" to the monster inside me that was trying to rationalize eating all evening because "I deserved it/I've been working so hard/I've been under calories every day this week, so it won't hurt" So yeah, I said no to that.

I said no to pizza and garlic bread at the office... sooo hard!! before I wouldve gorged myself on them and then fall into a spiral of shame and post binge binging! So, not to that too :)

Last night I was at a friend's house. This is the friend that I always drink, smoke, and binge with. I went there with a firm resolve not to, but around ten I started having the urge to binge. We even went to the grocery store. But once I got there I started feeling guilty and whipped out my IPhone and read a few threads on 3FC and realized it wasn't worth it. So I stayed in the produce section while they shopped for bad stuff. I went home with a watermelon, a bag of popcorn kernels to airpop, and a box of low fat sugar free fudgesicles. I ate two fudgesicles and a bit of popcorn while they gorged on cheesecake, and I felt AWESOME. I ate one tiny little corner of cheesecake and realized it STILL wasn't worth it. So I ate my fudgesicles and I'm SO FREAKING PROUD of myself.

I said NO to a binge that involved cheesecake! So freaking proud of myself!

(( Oh and you know what else I bought while they were buying cheesecake? A new digital bathroom scale! Buahaha! ))

Ice Cream social at work today from Marble Slab Creamery. There were ladies in my office getting seconds and thirds, but I stayed clear. I was content to wait until I got home and enjoy some fat free breyers in a 20 calorie cake cone.

I am saying NO to late night eating RIGHT NOW!! no pb toast that is not needed and will stall my efforts...and I came to 3FC to help me!!

I said no to the chocolate cake and had grapes instead.
I said no to soda (bad habit) and had water all day.
I said no to leftovers from dinner.

I said "no" to my son. He brought over a chocolate cream pie and insisted that I could eat just one piece. (He is still in his 20s, buff and thin and can eat like that for a while longer).

I said NO to dinner after 10pm!!! yay! it was hard, but it was bread for dinner and even though i love sweat bread.....

I said no to seconds of breakfast and seconds to lunch...now Im trying to say no to a pre-dinner snack

I said no to Halloween candy already in two candy bowls at work.

Today I said "no" to hating myself for what I did or didn't eat, for which pants I fit into, for the number on the scale. I said "no" to equating my fat with 'gross' or 'inherently bad' and I said "no" to thinking of myself as gross or bad because of my body.

I said "yes" to laughing with girlfriends, getting those loads of laundry I had been putting off done, and remembering to keep my diet goal in mind without thinking negatively about my body as it is today.

Good job everyone!
:cheer2:

Yesterday's supper: I said "no" to scalloped potatoes, made with cream and lots of gooey cheese!

Didn't finish all of my fries. :)

I maxed out on calories during dinner (instead of during a night snack like usual) and I didn't have a snack which would have really made me feel bad.

I didn't taste tomorrow's breakfast I prepared tonight even though it looked so good.

i haven't had a chance to say 'no' to anything yet today, but i said 'yes' to almost everything i shouldn't have yesterday. so today i'm putting my foot down and saying 'no' to anything unhealthy that might tempt me!

let's hope i can stick to it!

I said NO, and have been saying NO to all the goodies tempting me at the Dunkin Donuts drive through when I get my morning latte....for which I say YES to skim milk!

I said no to more snacking after class... my stomach can wait till dinner!

I said NO to snacking. I said YES to a protein shake instead
