I did good today. I was in a very uncontrolled environment at a catered all day work meeting. Baked treats on offer all day and dairy and carb laden mains at lunch. Credit to me not a crumb of baked treats crossed my lips. Also credit to me that I had a small serve of mains and lots of salad. The cool thing was that it didn't actually take that much effort to resist the baked goods. There was one bit where they were speaking to me but for the most part they seemed to hear my very clear, totally unequivocal "I ain't gonna go there!"
Traceyonajourney - sorry I missed your post last night - we must have been typing st the same time! Yay to a downward moving scale!
Beverlyjoy - yay to stopping before the end of the packet of ice-cream bars! And yay to checking in with us. Behaviour change is a gradual process and if you are noticing it and changing it mid-stream that is some serious progress I reckon.
Reesuh - hello and welcome. I am on Day 19 and loving having this crew as my diet coaches :-) hope you find this space useful too
Nationalparker - looking forward to hearing about those smart choices. Using spare time for yoga sounds like a fine one.
Gardenerjoy - thanks for the report card explanation. And I hear you about the "sneaking in the card reading" - whic I reckon is just fine - cause it means you read them.
Maryann - what a great choice for an anniversary gift. It sounds like you're having a blast with it.
Bunnababy - well done for keeping perspective and making good choices even when the scale was not reading as you wanted.
Lexiss - what a great step back and look at the big picture. How cool to not even be able to remember the last time you threw it all in for the day. That is quite something. Your Alaskan jam sessions sound great - the Beatles are such a good choice for amateur music-making I reckon. Such damn fine tunes.
3TL - wow to all that wheelchair pushing! And you're so right - it is a lovely thing to come on here and read about people's days. I do it last thing at night as my morning's are always so rushed and I want to have the time to soak it all in.
Beth - well done for looking after yourself and leaving personals because meal planning for yourself is more important!
BBE - you are so right on about the snacking thing happening when there is a task to be avoided. For me I think that is about using food to avoid feeling - if I distract myself with eating I won't have to notice I'm bored / frustrated / worried I can't do something well enough etc...
'Night all.
