What did you say "No" to today?
 

Saw that they closed the other forum so I thought I would start a new one!

I said no to a big breakfast that the rest of the family was having!

Fast food!
 

Today I said no to fast food! Well, I actually have been saying no to fast food for about a week now. I'm at the beginning of my "get fit and healthy" plan (which isn't really a defined plan--yet), and the first thing I've done is cut out restaurant/fast food meals. I'm a busy student, so I've probably eaten out more than I've cooked for myself the past 2 years (if not longer). I never really thought my fast food habits were that terrible...but credit card statements don't lie!! I've finally decided to take the time everyday to do something for myself--something for my health--cooking/eating meals at home!! It's been a fun adventure, because I have a lot of cooking skills that still need to be developed :D But I think my body is much happier this way, and my checking account will be, too!!

I'm sure saying "no" will get easier as time goes on...but hopefully I'll never lose the sense of accomplishment I feel when I conquer my cravings!

GL to you all, and here's to a happy, healthy weekend of staying OP!

I also said no to a big breakfast.
 

Had an Ideal Protein shake instead. Not as god as the bacon and eggs but at least I dont hate myself.:carrot:

Dessert from Whole Foods. They have excellent desserts, but it really defeats my purpose in going there.

I work at Denny's, and last night I resisted double cheese nachos. I had a grilled chicken salad and fruit instead. =D

Hah .. I can relate to fast food problems. I spent enough money on fast food to buy myself all new clothes. Literally 200-300 a month. That's how they get you.

I said "no" to quitting during yoga when we were in lunge #9 for 5 deep breaths and I wanted to cry and kick the teacher in the shins and run out of the room, and said "yes" to breathing through it.

I said "no" to the hummus and pita at the farmer's market because I don't stop eating it, and said "yes" to the kale.

I said "No" to two things. A gormet chocolate chip cookie while running errands and brownie with cream cheese frosting from the bakery of my local supermarket, they are simply sinful. Those are the two treats I have hard time with. Instead I brought home blueberries, plums, peaches and grapes!

Very proud of myself!

cravings
 

I said no to cake and caramel sauce for breakfast. //... After saying yes way too much yesterday I have to be very careful, but the cravings are especially bad right now and not going away anytime soon. nooooooooooo

today i said no to cake. and candy. and cupcakes. and more cake. :dizzy:

I said No to the Snack Machine Monster that lives in the basement of my apartment building by avoiding the basement. I also avoided Whole Foods. I started going there for the vegetables and this winter discovered their fried chicken and cupcakes. As Ashley said, buying things like that defeats the purpose in going there.

today i said no to cake and candy.

the big bag of hersheys nuggets with almonds, that all the skinny girls at work are eating!

I said no to burger king...I had a salad from arbys instead (and it was actually really good!)

Today I said no to several different kinds of candy. Oh, and to cake.

What a day at work. First no to someones homemade cinnamon sugar cake muffins. Then a Costco lady brought in free croissants and pound cake. There's never food like that around here.. until I'm at the point of breaking through the 200's. Geesh!

Proud of myself though!

So, the property manager's at my work wanted to show their appreciation to all their tenants by sending around a dessert cart to every employee in the building. It's supposedly really good, and it smelled REALLY good, and I was soooooooo hungry... but I didn't even look at it.

jack in the box.

Lind chocolate

i said no to the fries that come with my turkey burger!!!!!!

Said no to getting on the scale except for once this morning. Trying to do it once daily instead of every time I go in there. Getting better. Just got the scale back from DH hiding place. Trying out my willpower these days.

Oh my gosh, it's been so tough the past few days. With a bunch of friends around I've said no to ice cream once, a milkshake (a thousand calorie milkshake!) once, and Starbucks twice.

As for things I've refused myself and haven't actually been offered, I've said no to the ice cream in the fridge, potato chips, and ordering pizza. Not bad so far!

I said no to cake, and it was my favorite (butter cake)with brown butter icing///I said no to eating too many nuts (this is a huuuge weakness), just had a handful and moved on . Yeah small victory.

I didn't say no to anything in particular, but I had such an exciting moment yesterday! I was *very* hungry after I got in from my flight and I knew I wouldn't get home to eat until 8 and I had no money for fast food or anything. I was TERRIFIED of bingeing! Like terrified. I ate a few pretzels in the car to stave off hunger(not the healthiest, but I tried) and had a nice dinner of baked chicken and broccoli which filled me right up! As I was laying in bed, I realized I was in my PRIME bingeing time and I didn't even care. I had NO urge to binge or even eat anything! I was laying in bed about to sleep I even tested myself, thinking about all the binge foods I like. Nothing. No cravings. It might not seem huge, but I am super excited! Even better than resisting cravings is not having any at all!

Sorry I wrote a novel lol...

Last night
 

I said no to having another late night snack. I was within my calories of 1200-1300 per day around 10 and I really wanted to have another 200 calories of sweetness. I told myself that it wasn't worth it and that NO, I had not reached my goal yet (sometimes when I want to snack, I tell myself something like, 'You've already lost so much weight, reward yourself...relax.'). I was proud of myself, although I wish the scale would have rewarded me this morning. Up 1.5 pounds from my lowest.

Today I'm going to focus on drinking lots of water.

Tomorrow is going to be tough. We are having a goodbye party for an old staff member and there is a potluck. I usually take those days off and enjoy the food, but I haven't been 'good' for that many days yet consecutively. I don't really feel like I deserve the reward of a meal off yet. And, sadly, having the potluck snacks in moderation isn't what tempts me. It's the eating it with no limits.

I said no to the Chocolate Bar in the vending machine at work. VICTORY!!!!!
I can't wait to say no to something else!!!

Whole Foods here, too!

Today I passed up avocado rolls from Whole Foods. I know they're not bad for you or anything -- and I get them made with brown rice -- but it just wasn't part of the plan. I'm trying to stick to what I am packing from home and only buying the things that I need to complete my lunch.

Today it was:

Burger Kings Veggie burger
Donuts
Chips

all this was offered to me at work :)

Makes me thing if they want to sabotage my diet?????

I am really proud! I just took a handful (8 of them) Hershey's Kisses instinctively out of a co-worker's candy dish. I realized what I had done after I had eaten 3 of them, so I ate 1 more and put the remaining 4 back in the dish! Honestly, that feels like a huge victory for me. Very proud of myself for putting the rest back!!!

I said no to chocolate glazed doughnuts! My mom brought them over (I would never buy them).

I am saying no to every snack in the kitchen right now. I ate some sunflower seeds, made my mouth really salty, didn't like that. So I drank some cranberry juice. Didn't much help ... ate some oyster crackers and drank a bottle of water. The scale will surely hate me in the a.m. ... should've said NO a little louder :(

Not today but a few days ago I said no to strawberry shortcake I was offered and yesterday I said no to watermelon that doesn't sound bad but it was the end of the day and I didn't want to add anymore sugar or calories onto what I had for the day :D

I have bad foods in my kitchen also which I say no to everyday lol

I said no to soda,cake and ice cream at my boys birthday party today!

No to the Pizza stuffed pretzel!
 

We were at Fry's today (it's an huge electronic store) and my daughter was starving because we hadn't had lunch yet. So I went to their snack bar and got her a pizza stuffed pretzel! Boy did it look and smell sooooo good! I wanted just one little bite of it but I decided against it because I knew that one bite would lead to another. So before I could make a bad decision, I ran back to the snack bar, bought an odwalla bar and ate half of it to hold me over until dinner! Small victories are the best!

1) an egg and cheese McMuffin for breakfast
2) a free chocolate chip cookie at the grocery store (around lunch time)
3) warm spiced carrot cake after dinner

It was coming at me all day long! I resisted!!! Yay!

I said no to my high standards, I said no to my high demands from myself, I said no to wanting to squeeze my life out of myself in the gym, I said no to body harm through binge eating, I said no to beating myself up, I said no to my demands to lose all my fat right now, I can wait, it will be ok.

I said no to cookies and ice cream last night!

Exactly how I feel every day, always thinking I didnt do my best.

Good for you! :hug:

Thank you Siki, I am working on this tho... because one day I would do that but then the next day back to the usual me, who is beating myself up and all that. Today I said no to binge-eating and to self pitty. I don't deserve to be crying under my duvet, I can come out and talk to people and know that the way I feel will pass, I don't have to eat on it. It is only one day, during which if I binge eat I am going to have consequences for much longer than today. So no to that!

Ugh.... LOL
 

The barrage of bagels, donuts, and other pastries strewn all over the conference room table. :carrot::carrot:

Can I say what I said no to yesterday? I am doing WW and a guy at work threw a ghirardelli chocolate square on my desk. It was extra yummy kind with caramel in the middle.
I asked him what the nutrition facts were and for one tiny square, it was 2 points. I had to say no, especially when I can come home and have a huge skinny cow ice cream sandwich for the same amount of points. I was proud :)
