  • I am proud of myself because I made my kids pancakes ( very unusual on a school day) and didn't even think about eating a piece!
  • I am proud of myself because I just finished week 2 at 100% OP.
  • Because my grandma passed away Friday and even though we have been traveling quite a bit since then I have been 100% OP. Was afraid due to stress and traveling I would cave and eat something I shouldn't... but I didn't!
  • I'm VERY proud of myself that I spent the day out of the house, running errands and grocery shopping and stayed 100% OP!
  • CAlisto so sorry for your for your loss. It was great that you were able to stay OP even with the traveling and stress.

    Stayed 100% OP, nearing some big moments for me with IP and am staying focused on the goal

    Happy that so many new people are on the site and excited about IP!

    So sorry for your loss!

    I am proud of myself for following the plan 100% and seeing the end of phase 1 coming up.
  • Calisto-
    I'm very sorry for your loss. (((hugs)))
  • I went shopping today (used clothing) and didn't even look at the 2X rack! I found even a few L shirts (big ones) that fit. NSV and feeling proud all at the same time
    I also bought work out pants -- and I'm allergic to exercise (I find my breathing gets laboured and I feel hot -- those are signs of allergy arent' they??)-- so I can join a Pilates group again next week.
  • I almost made 10,000 steps today. (9300).

    Sorry about your grandma.

  • Calisto,

    Sorry to hear about your grandmother, but what a wonderful way to honor her by staying OP! That way, when you think of her passing, you can remember her and not that you fell off the IP wagon!

    I love the title of this thread...and my answer would be:

    I'm proud of myself today because I made 10 batches of kale chips, roasted 2 heads of cauliflower, 1 Costco container of mushrooms, and 7 red bell peppers. Some I'll puree for soups, some I'll eat with my salad, and some I'll freeze for whenever. I am good to go with veggies for a good long time!

    I also baked enough breakfast pudding cakes for the next 4 days

    Thank you LizRR, Rainbow and Wingnut for the recipes and inspiration!
  • My first day on IP and I traveled all day and stayed 100% OP!
  • I'm proud of myself because I just made chocolate chip cookies from scratch and didn't even have a taste!
  • I am proud of myself because I went to a public pool for the first time in YEARS!
  • I am proud of myself for saying "no thank you" to the warm chocolate chip cookies my friend brought to the PTO meeting last evening. I truly believe she could open a bakery she makes such yummy things.
