A FIRST FOR ME - DON'T QUITE RECOGNISE MYSELF!!!!

Had to go to an all day work shop today - when I got there it was my idea of HEAVEN (well, it should have been) free gooey pastries for brekkie, hundreds of gorgeous sandwiches, wraps, kebabs, sausage rolls and pies followed by trays of cake for lunch!!! Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

And what did I have, NONE of it - just my carefully (if somewhat boringly) balanced wrap and a couple of cups of coffee!!

Now, had I sat there grumbling, moaning and generally emitting an aura of intense resentment - THAT would have been normal. But I didn't, I was so chuffed with myself that I genuinely didn't really want it - wasn't even tempted.

Weird (but wonderful!!):laugh:

It is for me - I'm not kidding - a month or so ago I would have been trampling over small children to get there first - and two weeks ago I might have managed to resist but would have been very bitter about it. this has NEVER happened to me before!! Guess we never stop surprising even ourselves!

Great job, being able to resist "free" goodies is half the battle. I have "free" in quotes because we all know how much they cost us in pounds gained, hours in the gym and guilt. Take care and keep up the good work.:flowerforyou:

LOL that is so me always trying to get to that food first! I hope I too can get to this point of not being bothered by these types of food. Good job!!

Way to go!

I hope this encourages someone who may think this could never happen to them. It can, it will materialize if you work for it.

Once again, congrats, this is a really big deal.

It's a fab feeling! I walked past a woman giving away hot cross buns (a BIG weakness of mine!) the other day in M&S without even wanting to go back! So proud of myself

Well done hun!
