Little victories

I’ve been really trying hard lately to not make weight loss an all or nothing thing - and to take each meal and each food decision separately. One bad meal or bad day or even bad week doesn’t need to totally ruin everything!

So to that effect I am celebrating little victories!
For example for the last few evenings I have NOT had an ice cream sandwich after dinner. And tonight I only had three slices of pizza and didn’t go back for more when I was full.

Anyone else have any little victories they want to celebrate?

    Well done, it’s all the little things that really add up :)

    Treating every day as its own little capsule is helpful to me, too. Even each trip to the kitchen is a controllable thing, so I get where you're coming from.

    i always consider it a victory when the old people have fox news on in the gym and i dont go into a rant about how idiotic they are.

    one of these days it will surely happen, but so far i've managed to keep my mouth shut.
    I get your point but why do you care? You are there to workout, not worry about politics. Its healthy to take a break from that mindset.

    Actually I get it. Some of the machines in my place are set up so you're looking at a couple different TVs. Even just reading the banners on some of the news stuff makes me annoyed, I have to consciously not look. And it's not "politics" it's real life. There's some mad *kitten* going on lately.

    I no longer have any measurements over 100 cm anywhere on my body. This feels like a big victory to me!

    I bring my ipad with videos loaded on it (or youtube since my gym has decent wifi) to avoid the tvs.
