What did you say "No" to today? - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

I thought I'd start a thread where we could record our little daily victories, since some days it's so hard to resist the urge to binge and we deserve a place to celebrate when we manage.

I hope others find the idea motivating as well.

Sometimes it feels like food is absolutely everywhere, being pushed on us at work, at home, at parties, when we're driving, when we're shopping, etc.

I'll start:

This morning I said "no" to stopping by McDonalds for breakfast, which I drive past on my way to work, and I am so happy! I always binge when I go there and it would have made me feel awful all day.

I also said "no" to donuts that were downstairs in the break room.

So, what did you say "NO" to today?!?

Ohhh good idea!
Today I went to the cinema, and my friend bought a bag of toffee crisps chocolates, the whole bag must have been 600calories EASY. She offered me some, I said no

I was happy with my yummy cherries ^_^

My friend and I were getting our tea this morning and the cafe had packages of little powdered donuts which I dearly love. My friend said we should get one to split later I said Oh my gawd

Big Mac and fries, gotta say this salad isn't really cutting it lol but I am working too hard to mess it up now.

I said no to pastries that were supposed to be "SSSSSOOOOOOOO good!".

Last night my boyfriend brought Taco Bell home for us (trying to sabotage me)! I threw all of it down the garbage chute...
I said no to Breakfast pastries/Donuts at work.

Mine's not a huge feat, but saying 'no' is saying 'no'! I opted for only having 8 fish sticks (an outstanding 400 calories!! Who would have guessed that they were sooo much?) when normally I'd probably double that and try to fill up the tray with fish sticks/chicken nuggets/french fries.

Stopped at Blockbuster today, right before lunch when I was STARVED--said no to MOUNDS and MOUNDS of junk food. They have so much candy for sale there, you'd think it's a candy store, not a video rental place. It was really hard, I wanted to buy it all.

double chocolate chip muffins - no thank you! YES!

Greetings!

Well, today I brought my lunch to work, but as I was browsing the Internet, I saw one of those pop up banners for Panda Express featuring their "Wok Smart" menu--a selection of meals under 200 calories. Intrigued, I took the bait and visited the site.

Some of the meals looked really good, especially the tangy shrimp bowl (just 190 calories) and a veggie spring roll (340 calories because you can't really just eat one, right?) and some rice (5,000 calories) and oooooo....fortune cookies (I want about 10 of those)...

Yeah, never mind.
I ate my sandwich.
Stupid Internet banners.

Chili's- I got a gift card for Christmas. But even their "guiltless" options aren't as low cal or a tasty as the lunch I got at Jason's Deli instead!

KristenFlynn3 · 01-13-2010, 07:02 PM

I said no to a snikers bar. We sell them at work and I got a chocolate craving. I checked the clock it was only an hr till my next mean time so I said no thank you and had a chocolate protien shake instead

Said no to Jack in the Box curly fries. My daughter got out of school early today for final exams and wanted Jack in the Box for lunch. I took her through the drive thru but didn't order anything for myself. Came home and made a nice low cal, healthy lunch for myself instead.
