I resisted!!

Soo, after gym and some errands today, I was craving an egg and cheese on a bagel from Dunkins. So I logged onto here, and checked the calories, and decided it wasn't worth 550 calories. This would've never happened a month ago..I would've gotten it and some munchkins on the side too!

Wtg....your willpower is awesome !

Way to go! I do that too! Calories are in a sense, like money...is that worth x amount of cals or $$. Great willpower!

Will power is like a muscle; the more you exercise it the stronger it gets!

I did the same this morning, head for Panera for a Carmel Latte... made the turn, passed it & kept driving.

Way to go! When I do errands or am at the grocery store I'm ALWAYS tempted to buy junk food or fast food especially when i'm hungry! But if you keep up your willpower soon enough you won't even think about going there!


Yay for willpower!

Excellent work!! I know, I check EVERYTHING on here now. The one day I didn't..stupid Sonic Breakfast burrito nailed me for 550 calories..I almost fell out..lol. So needless to say, now I am checking everything. Way to go!!

Non-Scale Victory

I had the same question until I spotted it in someone's thread. It means "non scale victory"--something like your rings are fitting looser, or someone commented about how it looks like you're losing weight...basically a little victory that has nothing to do with the number on the scale. I like that idea, and it helps me to look harder for the small victories.

great job! i do the same thing with checking the food database before i buy food. it's saved me money actually lol cause i never seem to find anything worth the calories so i give up and go home and make my own snacks and food :-)

Oh Lord...I think the salad there might be worse than the breadsticks...sad, but true! How did the first poster get out of there eating 460 calories? I think think they had anything that low....

I order my salad without dressing & I pick out the croutons. The salad & a bowl of minestrone soup is pretty low. Kinda defeats purpose of eating at Olive Garden though.

Seeing this, and the other stories on here, gave me the strength to say no to a potential winery visit this afternoon! Sangrea and chicken pesto sandwich, while delicious, would just cost me money and calories so I'm saying NO for now! I'll go to the gym instead and save the indulgence for another time. Thanks!

And, to the above posters re: Olive Garden, I looove that place!! I don't think I could resist those yummy breadsticks, so I just avoid it altogether!
