My friends went to burger king today and I didn't eat! I went home and had the salad I knew I should. I know this is eye-rollable to some people, but I am a fast food junkie, and now I know that I really don't HAVE to have it just because it is there; and instead of making an excuse that it is "just french fries" or something, I knew that they weren't worth it. I also exercised over an hour on the treadmill today, jogging and walking on and off- basically, the mini goal I met was really starting my weight loss journey instead of only in my mind. Thanks everyone for inspiring me to do this! I can't wait to post back here when I get under 200- about 10 pounds away! (I was over 230 two 1/2 months ago the day I had my son- he was only 7 of them!)

That is great!!! It is victories like this that help your will power grow!!! Doesn't saying no feel good!

Awesome!!!

Congratulations! Ever decision like that, every good choice, is such a victory and deserver to be celebrated! WAY TO GO!

No eye-rolling here! Every time you do something good and right for yourself it is a reason to celebrate. In time, hopefully, all the little things add up to a new lifestyle and a happier, healthier you.

Congratulations on your realisation and your victory.

The day to day choices are the ones that add up....celebrate each step! They all count!

Congratulations...and thanks for posting...it encourages us all!!!

Here here!! That's a big deal. Cause aren't the lbs coming off in response to many many times of making the choice to eat appropriately. I had a similar experience myself recently. I know i'm losing slowly, but i'm enjoying each of these small accomplishments tremendously!!

to you!!

Great willpower! I resisted cookies and donuts yesterday, so I get it! No eye rolling here!

I think we all know what a big deal that is! Way to go! Don't you feel powerful??
