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?

    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.
