    I chose not to go out to a restaurant for lunch with my bff, because just when i've begun to lose this stubborn weight this very morning, I know i"d be compromising myself, and my hard work, and accomplishments thus far, and its not worth it... i cant control what the restaurant puts in their food, even though it sounds low calorie, there are sneaky things hiding in there that would hurt me possibly.. not worth taking the chance to compromise for anyone.

    A spoonful of chocolate frosting from the bowl in the fridge. I can't say I did the same for the past few days before this. Chocolate frosting mixed with peanut butter is a delicious dip for apples, btw.

    oh yeah those cans of frosting, especially put in the fridge, out comes something decadent which tastes exactly like fudge!!! i could eat a whole can in a day.

    sadly I chose not to have a vitamin water....I glanced at the label...it had 32 carbs and 170 cals...Thats like a Coke. I said..no to that. But I dont really say NO, I say...I would rather spend those calories on something else, sometimes I eat cake and pizza :O)

    I'm exactly the same way.

    My friends sometimes think I have such great discipline because I say no to sugary drinks, chips, ice cream, etc.

    But it's so I can say yes to the occasional Snickers bar or pad Thai once a month...

    Flavored, high sugar, fatty but so delicious non-dairy creamer in my coffee at work. Settled for a Splenda and a little of the powedered creamer...saved about a hundred calories.

    So I've read everyone's victories and am truly inspired by all this willpower! But... is it just me, or is anyone else now craving Little Debbies, ice cream, fudge, French fries, and burgers?!?!? I'm not sure if the inspiration balances out the cravings at this point... haha :)

    But seriously, for me there's an awesome drive-in place just down the road that has the best soft-serve ice cream and it's the middle of summer... I haven't been there in about two months or so, and I'm not even missing it at this point. I have a huge sweet tooth, so anytime I turn down something filled with calories and sugar and opt for a piece of fruit instead is a huge victory.

    What a fun thread! I'm nearing my weight loss journey, I have 10 more pounds to go and my body decided to focus on the stomach fat loss finally ( it's been a year) to my sheer delight. So I chose to forego my beloved whole wheat bagel and bread for more fruits.

    Late last night I almost got 1 Keebler Fudge Stripes cookie from the kitchen but thankfully made a 180 to my bedroom instead. And who can eat just one?

    The only reason they're in my apartment is because they were a gift from my mom. Despite what I tell her, every time I see her she gives me a snack like this. :noway: It's out of love but stll...I can't!

    And today is my nephew's 1st birthday party. I'll allow myself a small piece of cake maybe...or a cupcake. Thankfully I don't have much of a sweet tooth, so it won't be hard to pass up the piles and piles of other sweets on top of sweets that will be there.

    Cookies! Went grocery shopping today and left without buying anything from the cookie isle! I bought some extra fruit to take care of the sweets craving!

    Any of the junk foods that helped pack on the pounds. chocolate, cookies, etc.

    Reading through the list didn't in the least make me want any of it. Glad my cravings are gone.

    its sunday which means junk food at the inlaws. So far ive said no to very unhealthy potato salad, butter and salt smothered corn, oreo cookies, orange swirel ice cream, sugar cookies, ice cream sandwich and soda.

    sunday's are my hardest day to stay within calories cause they eat all the good tasting but junky high calorie foods i just cant fit in!

    This morning I woke up craving brownies. I didn't have any ingredients in the house to make "healthier" ones with zucchini, bananas & applesauce, either, and I knew that it's 4 more days until my fiance is here to "help me" eat brownies anyway. I considered making full fledged fudge brownies but knew the temptation would be too great. I considered making a batch of oatmeal cookies but I knew I'd wind up eating too many of those too, and still not satisfying the brownie craving. So I looked up a mug brownie recipe on Pinterest and made that, and ate about half and tossed the rest. Still a super unhealthy "breakfast" compared to normal but I'm glad I went that route and now brownies are no longer on my mind at all and I'll adjust the rest of the day.

    Tortilla chips with guacamole, sour cream and salsa. I also chose not to have the new Popeye's chicken and waffles. And brownies, I dreamed about brownies last night. And barbeque - I am craving fat laden pork ribs with tons of sweet bbq sauce, baked beans, potato salad and white bread....okay, I have to stop now.

    No im not craving those foods. I chose to lay those kinds of foods aside, and they do not tempt me, (now pizza and tacos is another story, but even so, i dont tease myself by eating those foods). I think to overcome those things - either have some once in a while, or dont let yourself react emotionally to those foods, even if you have to go another way, just avoid it, and voila, no temptation.

    im not deprived by doing it, but its a strategy that works. i hear food calling out to me but i dont answer.

    French fries. I had a salad instead. I felt so good about overcoming my ( previously ) automatic selection that I immediately made an overseas call to my sister, who is also losing weight.

    I chose not to have a vanilla latte. (250 cals) and went for the regular drip coffee with a touch of soy milk. (~25 cals.)

    I grumbled then, but feel great about it now after looking at my macros.

    So yesterday I chose not to go to Popeye's although I really wanted some! I f**ing have to fast forward through the Popeye's commercials. I guess that is why I didn't know that they now have chicken and waffles! Thanks to this thread, I am seriously reconsidering that decision!

    Mac and cheese. I went to Sam's and stocked up on bulk foods, but now realize everything I bought was junk and what I would usually eat before I tried changing my diet. So, I'm playing a little game with myself where I have the foods I enjoy, but in moderation. ("THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO!" you may say, but you have no idea- there is NOTHING healthy in my pantry right now. Unless you count animal crackers. :P) I feel bad for not eating "healthy," but it was all so cheap. And it will last me for, what seems, a million years at the rate I'm going through it. But the mac and cheese I knew would be over my macros, so I settled for some soup. Potato and bacon soup. Which I am enjoying VERY thoroughly, haha.

    stuffed my face mindlessly, but made conscious decisions as to what to eat (including a yummy frozen banana smothered in chocolate sauce mmmm)

    All the pizza the kids did not eat last night. Woohoo!

    Eating the kids leftovers used to be my weakness, too. I saw no reason to make myself a meal when the kids were wasting half their raviolis! I'm so glad we all have outgrown that. No more guilt over the starving children in Africa when I scrape their plates into the disposal. :)
