NSV - Resisting Treats & People starting to notice

bradXdale · February 2014

So yesterday I had two NSV! (Non scale victories).

1) I have such a crutch for this local ice cream place (Twisty Treat). I mean just look at the building below. I have to pass by it EVERY SINGLE DAY on the way to & from work. Ugh. Anyways...

Ever since I made the resolution to become healthier I have only visited Twisty Treat only once for a reward and that's my plan is to visit them and eat the ice cream every month or two months and last night I ended up there with my wife to fulfill her craving and me having a medium sized cone of vanilla did NOT fit my macros and it was not time for me to have a planned cheat treat. I was already at my calorie limit for the day and I completely resisted ordering even their one serving "bite-sized" cone. It's literally a drop of ice cream in a cone about 2" big. This to me showed that I can have self-control over cravings and not ordering "just because everyone else got one".

2) I posted a picture to my Instagram the other day of me, smiling and a few of my friends I went to high school with started commenting & asking me how I was losing weight and that I am looking a lot thinner. This is the first time asides from my wife's grandmother that somebody is noticing my weight loss.

Very excited on this & can't wait to keep pushing forward. I have a cruise to look forward to so for the next 52 days I'm going to kick *kitten* on counting calories, exercising and staying positive. Clothes shopping before the cruise will be great.

Nicely done! I have found even though these victories seem small, they can be monumental in the long run. You are empowering yourself to make better choices. Keep up the good work.
