I thought we could use a place to post our small successes. People not trying to lose weight might now think it’s a big deal to celebrate not eating a piece of a cake at a birthday lunch at work, but I think it’s worth a little cheer and perhaps even a happy dance.
Yesterday I decided to throw half a muffin away because while I wanted some muffin, I didn't need the whole thing. I'm learning that it's ok to not finish things if you aren't hungry any more.
Yesterday was a difficult day. I was in a lot of knee pain following my last weight training session (I'm going to have to change what I do there) and was feeling quite sorry for myself. All I wanted was to have a few beers and lose myself in an alcohol-induced warmth.
Instead, I told myself I would feel better simply sticking to healthy eating, drinking lots of water and having an early night.
This morning I feel so much better - and so does my knee!
@ TheAng - that's something I haven't yet mastered. I find it easier to pass on something completely, like Jenmaster2003 did, than just eat half of something. How did you know when to stop?
I love chocolate chip cookies. My husband brought some home and I only had 1. It was all I could do not to eat more (like 5 more). Feels good to be able to cut back...at least this time.
I managed to log my food today, which I haven't in about a week. I ate horribly, but succeeded in holding myself accountable for eating junk all day. I don't like when my nutrition log looks like a 4 year old gone wild so it will help me with my accountability tomorrow.
Today I tried to wear my dress, black pants for our company Christmas party. However, when I pulled them up and did up the zipper and button – they literally dropped t o the floor! I haven’t worn them in awhile, but I couldn’t believe they were my pants. I felt like I was watching a cartoon.
