Small victory for me

I had a small victory for me today, but it makes me feel like I am getting better at not eating just because there is free food here. I ate breakfast like normal, but when I got to work one of our vendors had brought us biscuits. Before I would have had one even though I already ate. So far I have gone over one hour without touching one. I just keep telling myself I am doing good and I already had breakfast. I am tempted but I know I do not need it just because they are there. For me this is a small step to a better life.:smile:

    when you think about getting one... think about it covered with worms, that way it doens't sound so good, It's a little mental trick i use when I want something I know I shouldn't eat.

    That is a HUGE step! Good for you. Can you move them away from you?

    Good job! With biscuits, especially, just the thought of how many calories they contain is enough to keep me away!

    Your willpower is bigger than that biscuit!!

    Luckly for me they are across the showroom so they are not sitting in front of me. It also helps I can not smell them.
  • It is a huge victory! Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
