Default Positivity Thread
I decided we should have a new thread, not necessarily for NSV's but they kind of are in a way. All positive things please!

What positive thing happened to you today that can be attributed to IP and your lifestyle changes?

Today I had to go to WF for more mushrooms and I went down the pb and cereal aisle. I have some coupons but I passed them ALL up. While I know I can incorporate them back into my daily diet when I am done, it doesn't mean I should have it in the house now. If the coupons expire before that date I'm pretty sure I'll survive.

I'm already looking forward to healthy balanced meals, making sure there is a veg at every one! No plain carb meals for me in the future!

Here's a positive. Had my WI this morning. Still losing!

Oh, and went to the grocery store last night...late. Walked past the bakery and nothing really seemed appealing. I remember my first 3 weeks on the diet, I couldn't go near it without wanting to eat everything in sight. Not a problem anymore!

I have had this same reaction. It is nothing short of miraculous! People can eat things in front of me and it doesn't bother me. I guess a stable blood sugar is a wonderful thing!!

I wore a shirt today that my brother had given to me as a gift from phuket. Never fit me even back about 15 years ago, fits perfectly now!

I am so thankful to have more energy than before IP. I use to come home and just collapse. Now, I cook, clean up the kitchen and the house as needed, ride my bike and still feel like doing more. It is great!

I hosted a BBQ for my fiance's friends and didn't eat a single bite of any of the naughty food they wanted. I also reached my exercise goal of 10,000 steps! It was a good day in IP world.

Likewise, I had lunch with friends yesterday and was not tempted in the slightest by food I would have been drooling over just a week or two ago. A great side benefit to this diet.

I have been out camping and with my family for the past 5 day's I made all kinds of goodies for the grandkids and I didn't even want any. This is what I just love about IP.

Another benefit was that I'm more organized. I have meals planned out generally in the morning and when I'm going to be out I'm never stuck somewhere without at least a bar or something in my purse. Say I'm going shopping, I'll not go around a meal time unless I eat something first, because if I end up later than usual something bad might be calling my name.

Planning my dinner at breakfast gives me something to look foward to, and then I never hear the back and forth "what's for dinner? I don't know!" between my husband and myself. When we go out, I plan in the morning where we are going, and generally have a few alternatives up my sleeve incase they don't work out, but still, all planned and no crazy food choices to sabotage me.

Things do happen and I am flexible but I've learned to try to predict my days and fuel accordingly

Today was a great day. It was not as hot and humid as yesterday and I was able to take off my wedding ring for the first time in quite a few years. Oh, I put it back on Husband told me today that I looked skinny- so that's two things.

Wearing pants to a meeting today that were so tight on my backside, I used to wet that area and do deep knee bends.
They are nice and loose today When I get home, I'm going through my "Small Clothes" to see what else fits!

I am out of control. All last evening I was surfing eBay, looking to bid on designer clothes in Small. I need an intervention, quick! This is too much fun.
