Default Today I passed up...

Cookie dough at the grocery store...I saw it and imagined how good it would taste...and I kept walking! Not worth it because I'm living on my own for now so I'd probably eat it all by myself.

What temptation did you pass up today?

That's awesome - good job!! I went to meeting this afternoon with eclairs, brownies, cookies and carrot cake. I am dragging so much from getting up early to exercise this week but I passed on the sugar fix. It was hard but I'm glad I stuck with it!!!!

Haha I went to target today and bought a pack of those 100 calorie small Milky Way bars, but I left the store, pulled two bars out of the bag, and throw the rest (5) into the trash right in front of the store! I cannot have 7 100 cals milky way bars in my possession, I would gorge on them all. So I had 2 = 200 cals. I should have just bought a legit milky way and had half, but oh well!

First I got to orientation and there was a HUGE breakfast laid out with bagels and croissants and doughnuts and muffins, but I had already had my toast and orange juice three hours before so I just grabbed some coffee.

Then at lunch there were tons of different kinds of food and chips and TONS of great looking cookies, but I got a sandwich (turkey and mustard) and ate that. It was SO HARD not to chow down on cookies because everyone else was, but I passed i up.

Sorry, I know that's a lot, I just find orientations stressful and the social eating situations make it even moreso. But i WON!

I bet everyone there was thinking "why can't I just eat a healthy sandwich and have self control like her!"

I didn't have to pass up anything today I had a breakfast burrito and an egg for breakfast, some blueberries for a snack, a turkey sandwich and an ice cream sandwich for lunch, and enchiladas, chips and salsa, and a churro for dinner, and still came in under 1800 calories. And i hiked up a mountain! They say "lifestyle change" is just a euphemism for "diet", but hey, I love living like this and I'm still losing. I'll just keep on keepin on the way I am until my body gets to a place where it switches from losing to maintaining.

I was the last one making my plate tonight and passed up loading my plate up with the rest of the mashed potatoes. I loooove potatoes in any form so I was extremely proud of myself.

I passed up an exquisitely decorated Mrs. Field's Cookies variety box brought by a product rep. Had another cup of coffee instead.
