Lexxiss just pointed out my NSV. I altered a favourite outfit - pants and sleeveless top - by getting rid of four inches of fabric. I felt great to not have all that extra flapping around!

Ruth! 4 inches of fabric is a huge NSV!

Yay I finally get to post here! To be honest, mine is a little embarrassing, but oh well.

Yesterday evening my days' plans got changed and due to a lack of appropriate planning when I realized this change, I end up in the car, driving home at 9:45 PM, and I hadn't had dinner. I'd had a snack at about 2/2:30 and normally have dinner somewhere in 6:30 to 8 range. I'm hungry, I'm tired, its that TOM, and I know we don't have a lot of options at home. I call Dear Fiancee and he recommends that I pick up food (reading between the lines: he was afraid of hungry fiancee monster of doom).

So I swing through Wendys drive through. My tired, hungry, TOM brain somehow convinces itself that a breaded chicken sandwich meal is on plan food. Really. I believe this for the 30 seconds it takes to order. Of course, as I pull forward in the line, I start to have a more honest internal dialogue. The chili I ordered as my side is probably passable, and the Diet Coke will be okay, but there is no way that breaded chicken sandwich on white bread bun is acceptable. I get to the window, thinking I'll ask to change my order to a salad, but the sandwich is made and I chicken out. They even give me a free small fries because the line was so long.

I'm driving home and grab a handful of the fries. They are delicious. And I regret them instantly. Then a phrase creeps into my brain that I read here on this forum...
"I've never regretted NOT eating something"
And, I thought of the accountability thread that TwynnB and I are doing this week. And I resolved to not eat that sandwich. When I got home I threw the fries in the trash can. I had the chili, and a small prepackaged salad I found in the fridge. Sandwich went in the fridge for my fiancee to eat later. I'm still in quasi-shock that I was able to not eat it once I had bought it.

The saying is true. I don't regret not eating it.

Congrats on not eating the sandwich! I'm afraid if I smelled it I couldn't resist!

My NSV is along the same lines. Last night I had a SF Jello cup and was fine but I found my self miraculously standing in front of the freezer (I still don't remember how I got there! ) with my hand in the box of fudgesicles. They were on plan as sugar free but I didn't need it.

I withdrew my hand and left it for my husband and went on about my business.

We're headed out to a picnic with lots of people. I was running short on time and needed to change. I was still in my casual/comfy pants and tee shirt I wore to the pool this morning.

I looked in the mirror...decided I didn't need to change. I looked fine just as I am. That's a major step for me from the "what will make me look thinner" days and pre event panic I used to go through.
