Talking Woohoo!

This seems like it may not be a big deal, but I always - and I mean ALWAYS - have gotten off track of my diet when I go to my parents house. They always have something delicious to eat or snack on, whether it's my mom's famous stuffed grape leaves, cheez-its or some yummy chocolate dessert, I always seem to give in to the temptation.

The other day I went to their house and ... I STUCK TO MY GUNS!!! I actually brought my own food (and lucky for me they were already finished with dinner) and for dessert I had a little cup of fat free jell-o.

I'm going over tonight... I can do this again tonight. Go Gracenote. Go.

Congratulations! I know how much energy that takes...my parents are always eating something that I hadn't planned for in my calories, and it is so tempting!

Keep it up!

That's awesome! Overcoming things like that are really big challenges. You can stick to it again! You are capable and can do it!

Update: Successfully survived another day at the parents house! Thanks for the encouragement all! I am becoming more aware that I am the one who is in control -- no one puts food in my own mouth but me, so when I mess up, it's nobody's fault but my own.
