Hey, gang....
ever have one of those moments where you just had to have your favorite crap, but then decided against it?
I had one of those moments tonight, I almost went overboard, but I decided I wanted to keep my shit under control.
I needed to go to Walmart for groceries. I fended off the donuts, cookies, and evil, evil cheesy ritz crackers! Then on the way home I passed Arby's and Burger King, and really wanted to just pig out, but I didn't!
hurray for me! and hurray for you! (when you join this club!)
 
Congratulations thats really something! Today is actually the first day where i could belong in this club. The past couple weeks.. or more like months.. i basically caved in to all my urges. Cake for breakfast, 3 slices of cheescake in a row you name it. BUT not today!! hurray for me : )
 
Today while in the grocery store I wanted some chocolate candy SOOOOO BAD! I even picked some up several times but after looking at all the calories I put it down. I just wanted 1 small piece but I would have to buy a whole candy bar or pack and they were all like 200-300 for like 1.4 oz! I finally decided it wasn't worth all those calories for just a couple of bites.Siiiigh.
 
Congrats!!!
I have to say that I haven't been good this week...
We had a chocolate cake in the house...and I've been stealing bites every now and again...
SHAME!
I wish I had your strength!
 
I live a distance from any stores so if I can get out of the store without buying anything bad then I don't have anyway to get it quick except to make a 1 hr round trip back to the store.
 
I've been super depressed today AND stuck in the house due to lousy weather. When hubby got home & yelled at me I had had enough. I just cleared out the cabinets today tossing leftover this or that...M&M's, marshmallows, hot chocolate mix & chocolate chips(gone in the trash...oh, man!), cookie & cake mixes (given away to the neighbors), white rice, white pasta & syrupy canned fruit given to the local food pantry. Well, in the mix I found 3 Lindt chocolates. Obviously I have a chocolate thing. And these are a fave.
Well, being depressed only made me want to punish myself & my hubby for yelling at me...so I snatch one of those Lindt's & snarked it. How stupid! Then I almost grabbed the other two. But why? it only sets me back...and it certainly ISN'T punishing my hubby. Just me, making me take that much longer to lose the calories they would have added to my diet.
So- while I have no halo, I am still me....but at least i had the sense that the chocolate wasn't going to make ME feel any better, or get ahead in the game. So...there's that!
 
i felt like a takeaway last night and guees what, i skiped it and was 1 1/2 pounds down this morning woohoo:smash:

I do want to join your club, but for me when I need a little something, I usually have just a little. But I stay within my points! I do know what you mean, I have been wanting the new jalapeno burger that Burger King has, but I haven't had one yet. I wanted fries, and I took just a taste of one fry yesterday and backed away. When I concur my goal, I will buy one of those jalapeno burgers, but I will stay within my points.

I only buy the foods that I need to cook with...fruits,vegetables and meats. I do keep DB bubble gum in the house. If you can find the sweet freedom bars (sweet freedom fudge bars). They are only 35cal. a bar. No points for 1 bar!

Good Luck to you all...and stay strong!!:seeya:
 
It's rained a lot today. After it stopped I wanted to drive to town and buy some ice cream. I didn't do it, instead I did my 2 mile walk then had a cup of 50 cal hot chocolate.

Good for you, you can do this!!
I drink the sugar free hot chocolate sometimes.
 
Wow I wish I had the self control that you guys have. If I get a slight hint of a craving for a binge or take away, I usually give in. Admittedly not without a fight. But the cravings usually win in the end! :(

Kudos to you all!
 
I nibbled on an onion ring from Red Robin, and then I started munching, then biting then eating and I ate two in like five seconds flat! Then I stopped, chugged a glass of water, and went downstairs.

I am still two hundred calories over my intake, but on another day I would've eaten five, and then I would've just went crazy, planning to start again tomorrow. Then the next day would've been fifty fifty. I might've started fresh, but then again I might've just pretended I had never tried to diet and would've fallen right off the wagon for who knows how long.

=)

I feel like when I slip up that it's another sign that I can't do this healthy lifestyle change, but you know what, in a year I'm going to look back on this and laugh at myself for freaking about two onion rings.

Except, right now I am freaking out. But I am about to crawl into bed and tomorrow I will be bright eyed and bushy tailed, with a much sunnier disposition.

No way dude - it's cool! Denying yourself completely would be pretty impossible & you did great by stopping after 2 rings - a taste without going overboard. Give yourself a pat on the back for knowing when to quit & get ready to face another day of delicious healthy meals instead.
 
all i could think about last night was going to the shop and gettin sweets or makin a late night sandwich, but i didnt and i`m a pound down today:coolgleamA:
 
That's great scottsblue!

=)

And thanks flame, for the inspiring words. I have a big problem with be the all or nothing type when it comes to trying be healthy. I feel like there's so many do's and don'ts and maybe's and who the hell know's...well in the end I am just trying to piece together some sort of healthy living. And all the time I am overwhelmed.

Too much sodium, too much fat, too many carbs, not enough protien, where the hell is the fiber...

It crushes me. But yesterday I pulled out my guitar. I haven't practiced in a good two weeks and it was about time. It puts a different perspective on things. ^.^
