First NSV

I am a Registered Nurse and I work 12 hour shifts. There are an abudance of treats available all the time.

Because of MFP and writing down everything I chose not to eat the crap at work. I had a hell of a day and because of MFP I did not binge eat when I got home. I logged my calories, and ate a couple clementines.

Just knowing I'd have to write all the less than ideal choices kept me from eating it.

This is so amazing for me. I've never celebrated a NSV before. Ever.

    It's so ironic that as caregivers we so often neglect ourselves. Way to go for taking such a huge and brave step to take care of yourself! It's one of the very best examples we can set as nurses for the people in our lives! Keep it up. You deserve it!
