Good going. So glad you liked the tea I am feeling sluggish and don't want to do anything but tomorrow I am going to for sure get up and take my little man to the park and kick the ball around.

What a great idea, ichoose2believe! Your little guys will appreciate it, too. Have fun!

I was tempted after lunch today, but I came running here and posted instead. It's funny how getting away from the food area can make a difference. I actually feel more in control!

I am jumping in on this one. I think a lot of my issues come directly from being impulsive. Not just weight issues... all issues... I am a naturally impulsive person. Shopping, buying big things, speaking before I think (sometimes this one was a long hard lesson but I feel like I have control of this better than any other thing in my life)

So instead of being impulsive right now, running out to the store to get a nice savory meal, I just ate a medifast bar, turned the lights down lower, plugged into my computer and am going to do an hours worth of work on learning Italian...

Ahhh I so wanted a bean and cheese breakfast taco this morning from Taco Cabana which is 292. So instead as I walked my chunky butt up the stairs I counted out what else I could eat that was equal to the 300 calories:
1/2 cup cooked oatmeal with cinnamon and 5 diced strawberries
1 pieces of 9 grain 40 cal bread and 1 tablespoon of 1/2 sugar jam
1/4 egg beaters with 1 tablespoon of pace salsa
2 pieces of turkey bacon and a cup of mint green tea with teaspoon of sugar.

Welcome, Sept! Congrats on going for the medifast bar! What a great idea - to go to the computer and learn a new language!!

ichoose2believe, congrats on losing more weight! That's awesome! And then making a great choice for breakfast, instead of a measly taco. You had more food with less cals!!

As for me, I stopped eating more food while watching the Oscars. I had my dinner and snack planned and enjoyed the show.

I gotta watch eating in front of the tv! There's another thing that might start a problem.

Made it through another day with flying colors. Was starving all afternoon, but didn't eat. Drank water.

Sept, wow, that's awesome!! Now you've motivated me to get moving. I usually exercise everyday, but today I was lazy. Thank you for encouraging me!

Today I went out to lunch with co-workers. I ate half of my salad, but was tempted to eat the rest when I got back to work. Instead, I kept it in the refrigerator until after dinner. Then I had a sugarfree mint.

After my eggbeaters, yogurt and skinny vanilla latte for breakfast, I wanted to keep eating. I put one of my calcium chews in my mouth and came here to post. It's been 17 days since I've let my inpulses ruin my progress! Kudos to me!

Hey, ichoose, great option to take a shower when tempted with ice cream. That was huge. Great job!!

I feel great, because I made it through another day. When I was hungry in between meals, I drank water.
