I Did It!!!!
 

Last night, as you know, I went out with my conference [which I am late getting to today because I am reading and posting!!] to dinner to a Mexican place.

It was so hard -- pitchers of margaritas, chips and salsa galore, oh and the beer! Have I mentioned I was a huge beer drinker?????

But I stuck with it and had diet coke and waters -- my fajitas without the shell and rice...lots of black beans [no lard]. I even went out to the office happy hour after and just had soda.

It was sooo hard for me. I can't even describe it. Drinking is a social thing for me. Always has been. But I didn't cave. I got home, had some dessert [peanut butter cup!] and went to bed.

I woke up this morning ladies, in ONEderland! Albeit by .2, but I am finally there. Which means when I work tonight's event, I will not drink. When I eat lunch today at the conference, it will be a healthy choice. And, if I can stop typing, I will eat breakfast here so as not to be tempted by the goodies there.

I was having a horrible day yesterday [I am -$90 in the hole in my checking account, I was having a problem with my boss]...but this totally made up for it!!

I AM SOOOOOOO excited...I am even crying typing this. Happy Saturday all. Will check in after the conference!

Thanks to all for your encouragement! :dizzy:

Oh, Jenne, I am so very happy for you! :grouphug:

Way to go Jenne!! Great to here about your success it does feel good to know the hard work is paying off. I had a similar experience yesterday with a graduation party. I wanted to drink so bad that nite and all day long i tossed it around in my head and came up with the dumbest deciding factor...lol. i said to mysel if i get on the scale and did not lose any more wieght since my last wiegh in ( like tuesday...lol) i was going to have some drinks. well i got on the scale and found i lost 3.5.lbs on phase 2 week one day 4 days so i did not even want to sabbotage that ..lol. Ladies by no means do i feel the was a healthy way to look at it...lol, i thought about it today and decided if i hadnt i would have to live with the guilt..lol. So any way back to Jenn! congrats!!! and i cant wait to meet you in ONEderland! :goodscale

Jenne -- That is fab, and just the kind of inspiration I need right now. Way to go! :cheer:

Way To Go!!!!!
 

That is so cool Jenn, aren't you glad you didn't cave????? There is a real feeling of power when you win that argument with yourself.

ONEDERLAND! YIPPEEEEEE!!!! Keep it up!

:cb: WooHoo Jenn!!! :cb:

Thanks all! It IS paying off. I was good again tonight. I got on the scale [I didn't really eat dinner but had a snack before I left] and it read another loss!

I had water all night...and danced my butt off.

YAY!

Thanks again for the support ladies. It means a lot. Some people in my 3-D life just don't understand. I am always the fattest of my friends and it always made me feel self-conscious. I am doing this for me but it's great for friends to call me the "Incredible Shrinking Jenn" :)

Jenn-

Congratulatoins!! I think that social settings like that are the most difficult to handle! I am right there with you on the beer drinking- although I am more into wine. You must feel fantastic and very much IN CONTROL! :)

Congratulations Jenn! Good for you! You must feel so wonderful in onederland!!

I do adrianna! Now, to the 180's! :)

Congratulations!!!!!!
 

So sorry to chime in late, Jenn, but

GREAT JOB!!!

I am so totally happy for you! Having finally made it squarely into the 200s (three days of 298), I fully get how happy you are!

And how amazing was your self control? :D Even if you had not lost any weight, you would have a LOT to be proud of! Good going!
