Thanks, guys!! And I agree, you have to take it one step at a time. If I'd felt completely deprived by not letting myself have any at all, I would've had one slice & called it good ... moderation is the key! |

Sweet! Way to be in control and keep control of your own food intake. If they gave you a heads up about the pizza, you may have just planned for it. Since it wasn't in the plan, congrats on making the move that felt best for you. :) |

Original Post by durgy: Thanks, Durgy! :-) I was quite proud of myself ... and my assistant, who was the only one who knew that I really didn't have work to do at my desk, was pretty impressed, too! She's a very sweet girl and acts as my cheerleader at times during this weightloss journey. Anyway, thanks for the support! |

I went to a picnic yesterday and the plan was that everyone brings their own food; I had a full meal at home and just brought a thermos full of coffee, because I am so far past the days of mindless nibbling and snacking and I didn't want to idly chew down tasteless calories in the form of finger food at the picnic. All was going according to plan until my friend pulls out a gigantic pillow-sized bag of potato chips - actually, they weren't even potato chips, just some kind of mashed potato starch reshaped, covered in salt and deep-fried - and offered it to me. I turned it down and for the next two hours the bag lay right in front of me, but I managed to not even have one bite. I know I wouldn't have enjoyed anyway. What really makes me proud is that instead of focusing on the frickin' chips, how much I supposedly wanted them and how I couldn't have them, I just forgot about the whole thing and had a great time sipping my delicious coffee and talking to my friends. I have come too far to be taking orders from food it seems. I'm no longer obsessed. |

Good job & way to go! I think the little victories make the big victories even more satisfying, because you know you've worked that much harder. I had two parties to attend to today. At the first party, there was ice cream cake which is one of my absolute FAVORITES, from Dairy Queen. When I said no, everybody started teasing me with it, trying to entice me in every which way but I stood my grounds and said NO. The next party I went to had a bunch of fatty good stuff... cake, ice cream, yakisoba noodles, spam musubi (a weakness for hawaiians), and cookies... I ignored it all and went straight for the pork, chicken and fruits! I'm super proud of myself. I did good yesterday and today, although I didn't have the time to workout today, hopefully tomorrow. Yay! |

Original Post by mztenderheart02: Man, it's the worst when people make a big scene out of it. Can't they just drop it and move on? Much respect for staying strong through that! |

The other day I had a coupon for a free coffee drink and ordered a coffee milkshake (hey it was free so no calories - right?).
Right before the girl started making it I changed it to a skim milk ice coffee. I felt very satisfied with myself. |
