I'm semi-new here so I'm not sure anyone knows anything about me yet, so I'll give a little bit of background first. I'm 24 years old, I live in Michigan and I teach Computers to High School Freshmen.

I just wanted to post today because I'm SUPER proud of myself! I had two rough classes so far today and all I wanted to do for my lunch was go out and get a nice cheeseburger and some greesy fries... BUT... I knew how upset I'd be with myself later on tonight and I opted for my EasyMac Cup, my peaches and my crystal light!

I'm just super excited because I feel like I've made that first step now to making healthier choices!

WTG!!! It's always hard to beat those temptations, but you did it!!! Keep it up!

That's great, Aubrey! Congratulations, and welcome to 3FC!

Way to go!!!

High school freshman, ouch. I majored in Education for a year, but I couldn't make it through my practicums. Especially grades 7,8, and 9.

Congrats! The first steps are the hardest!

You SHOULD be proud of yourself! It's so easy after a tough day to just go and blow everything - well done for not letting it get to you!

And welcome!

Thanks everyone for the comments and support! I did just splurge a bit though, but I figure that the Carmel Apple Sucker that was brought to me is better than lunch at Wendys anyway! =)

Tough day at work here too - free coffee in the lobby and boxes and boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts. The old me would have had at least 1 donut (and probably would have made sneaky second and third trips for more). The new me just walked by and went and got my 0% Greek yogurt and fresh raspberries - they taste better than an old donut anyway!

Welcome to 3FC! Congrats to you and you should be proud. I haven't been eating that well today but also haven't been eating that bad so I guess I'm doing good too.
