  • Yesterday, I went with the family to a Mexican restaurant (my FAV) after church. I just had the water . Then in the late afternoon, went to an 8 year old's birthday party and passed up the nachos & the cake. I was the one cutting the cake and didn't even lick the icing off my fingers

    Anyone else want to brag about passing something tempting up?
  • Gotta get outa here!
    One of my daughters just rented a condo to use for work in a little coastal town. I visited her this weekend and passed up:

    A BLT and onion rings from Sam's Corner (awesome greasy food)
    I had the swiss burger with lettuce, tomato and provolone minus the bun.
    Painter's Homemade Ice Cream
    Hot Krispy Kreme Doughnuts
    Bloody Marys from the end of the pier bar

    I had NOTHING except the bottle of water I carried around.

    I finally said, "I gotta get outa here before I inhale 5,000 carbs just breathing!"

  • I passed on a no-bake cookie from the Flying M coffee shop in Boise, ID. (I was there on business, and was with folks who were indulging. The Flying M has the best no-bake cookies!).
  • Um, not licking icing off your fingers is AMAZING!! Mine is silly, but today when I was packing lunch for my husband and I, I didn't snack on crackers and cereal as I went. I felt pretty good about that! It's been a problem area lately.
  • Yesterday I passed up a big basket of mini candy bars sitting in the middle of the table during a long, boring two-hour meeting. I had the rest of my lunch...which was NOT CANDY!
  • Yesterday we had a call centre wide pot luck, 600 people bringing in various dishes! And the food was everywhere!

    I passed up chips and salsa, everything I would normally eat.

    I only had two pieces of cheese and a piece of sausage from a meat and cheese tray and stuck to my pre packaged lunch. It was easy if I didn't look at anything hehe.
  • I passed up a fresh coconut cake complete with coconut icing. It sat on my bkfst counter for 4 days! Thank God it molded fast! I rock!!!!
  • Wow! Fresh coconut cake...now that's a temptation. You ROCK HARD!
  • at the conference I was recently attending, I passed up the continental breakfast complete with danishes and cinnamon buns, went to the hotel restaurant and ordered an omelet.
    Lunch was sandwiches, I ordered the egg salad sandwich with no bread thank you......even tho the bread was fresh foccacia.
    I didn't have the pie or cookies at coffee break. Had a snack of cheese.

    PS, was gone 4 days, including travel days, and difficult schedules, and DIDN"T cheat!, and didn't gain! yippee
  • Fatmad, you're committed!
    It takes real commitment to pass up all that food - already prepared and sitting right there. Congratulations on exercising your Atkins muscle!
  • Raviolis and bread with butter last night at mom's birthday dinner. I brought my own food! Yay me!
  • Fried seafood Friday night... pizza last night... Friday night was harder but my weigh in is on Saturday so that helped! Pizza last night... just ate a few pizza tops and drank lots of water.
  • It's easy to resist stuff when you're allergic to it, like bread products, but because I have gluten free breads and wraps they've been calling to me lately.

    I considered having one slice which would be 14g of carbs, but I told myself no. Maybe in the future, but not now
  • Grilled cheese. ooooey gooooey cheese.....mmmmmmm! I don't know why I love grilled cheese, but I do. Made it for the kids and there were 2 slices left. Threw them in the garbage. Yay me!
  • I passed on the most delicious hot buttery fresh yeast rolls when we went and ate at a BBQ place (known for those darn rolls). I just had the brisket with no sauce. It didn't reflect on the scales this week BUT it will eventually when TOM has departed
