Small Mental Success!

  • Ok so I lost a lot right away, like 15lbs in the first month...YAY! Well as expected I plateau'd which is fine, I have lost only 2lbs in 3 weeks, still good in my opinion....well last night I just kinda felt "off" kinda wanted to just eat everything in sight, candy, sweets, salty food, you name it I just had this urge...well as I sat there thinking of what I could "start" on....I literally couldnt think of a single item of junk food in my house (we do have TONS of it for hubby who is skinny as crap and a junk foodie) that I wanted to eat. I did eat a bit of popcorn, but I just couldnt convince myself that anything sounded especially appetizing so I didnt eat any junk!!! Stepped on the scale this morning and of course 183.2....same as weeks ago, but thats ok, one little mind success is good enough for me!!!
  • That's a very huge success!!! Congratulations!
  • I feel it's a great success too. For me not caving into cravings and/or finding a healthier usually less crappy carb (my nickname) option is a win win!
  • Thanks Girls! This was the first "craving" I have had in 6 weeks...so finding that nothing sounded good is HUGE.....I am pretty please with myself
  • That is awesome!!!
    Ive had little cravings like that before when dieting... the last time I gave in the worst part besides the obvious anger i had at myself for giving in was the fact that the junk food didnt taste as good as i remembered and it wasnt enjoyable at all.
    so kudos to you for beating it!! totally awesome!!
  • Great job in avoiding potential problems. Just keep it up and the weight will come off.

  • That's a great mind success. Congrats!
    Did the same staring at some lemon cookies and chocolate banana bread in the office. I opted to eat one of my protein cookies instead.
  • @Dedicated, it's those "small" successes (which I think are HUGE) - all lined up - that will lead to your goal. And you're creating new, healthy habits that will keep you thin. Awesome!
  • Great job staying strong! Congrats!
  • I agree. Not a small success at all. You are doing incredibly well at continuing to fight, even with slower-than-optimal losses. Congratulations!!!
