Didn't have mayonnaise with my lunch, now that's an achievement for me!

I was offered a cookie and I said no thank you even though I was wanting it sooooo bad

My small success today was really a huge success. I was out with friends running errands and as we finished them up they decided to go through Wendy's drive thru. I was so proud of myself because I didn't order anything! Not even a salad. I had my friend pull up to Stop & Shop (it's in the same plaza). I went in and bought two pieces of fruit and my favorite healthy choice frozen entree (290 cals) and when we got to her house I popped it in the microwave and ate a piece of fruit while I waited the five minutes for it to cook.

I cannot begin to tell you what an accomplishment that is for me. I was a fast food junkie to the core! And the fact that I passed on Wendy's shows me that there's a shift in the way I'm thinking about eating and that's very important.

No need to bypass Wendy's if you order a small chili (no cheese) and pour it on a side garden salad (no dressing). Only about 240 cals, yummy and satisfying.

My small success today was eating left overs from dinner last night -- a plain baked potato with my life-saving spray butter (LOL!) and half a chicken breast -- instead of eating Little Caesars pizza and crazy bread with the rest of my family. NOTHING tastes as good as losing weight feels!!!!! Well...maybe chocolate...

Made it throught day one, was not as bad as I expected....Didn't get my favorite 4 berry sundae when I stopped at Sam's today, and it was hot here today.

I won a push-up contest.

pulled out three biscuits to eat with my tea for breakfast and purposely pushed the third aside- there is no way i would have done that 2 weeks ago! i know it's not much, but it's a personal achievement

I promised the kids (and hubby) I would get donuts for a treat this Sunday morning. They each got to choose two donuts - one for now and one for later - and mommy didn't get any. Not even a bite. I came home, sat down with the family and ate my Total cereal and a cup of coffee.

made chocolate chip cookies with my son for his teachers and didn't eat any dough or cookies.

Getting back on track after going AWOL for over a week, lol.

Fell off the bandwagon last night, but came back today ready to start again. Plus I made a plan for how to deal with similar events in the future.

I took my kids on a walk even though I wanted to go back to sleep

I've had pneumonia for the last 2 weeks and been too exhausted to even get off the couch. Today, I went for an hour long walk and did some light strength training. It's a fraction of my usual exercise but I'm proud that I'm getting back to my exercise routine

Mine was resisting most of my mindless snacking urges. I have a tendency to grab a few small things while I'm in the kitchen- a couple dates here, maybe a couple crackers later, then some strawberries. I'm a hardcore grazer, which is fine, but a lot of it is just mindless. I did a good job resisting some temptations to eat for no reason today though, and I'm pretty pleased with my eating over all.

One of my co-workers said today
"I'm not being creepy or anything, but have you lost weight? I almost didn't recognise you from behind!"
:bigsmile:
Also, today I reached the weight I was on the day I had my son, 5.5 years ago!

I just returned home from a weekend family vacay and did not bring home additional pounds!!! Woohoo!!

30 minutes of walking.

Love this positive thread. Mine was going for a walk after dinner when I really just wanted to crash in front of the TV and my neighbour wanting to know how i got so skinny (and she was the one that introduced me to MFP).

Church fellowship lunch today... the main entree at our table was not edible, a first for our church, so we all decided to just hit up the dessert table.... I happily loaded my plate with whatever I wanted as I figured I had not eaten the _______ calorie enchilada casserole. But only ended up eating the lemon bar (made by my BFF just for me), 1 cookie, a couple bites of carrot cake and one bite of red velvet cupcake - normally my faves but neither one tasted very good today. I did not go back for anything else.

I also did not snack this afternoon, and then 3+ hours of grocery shopping and putting it all away. I think I offset the lemon bar and Fudgwich cookie LOL!!

Went on a 5 mile hike today. It was a beautiful day.

EchoOfYourPast

Worked a 12 hour shift and still got in a 1 mile walk, 30-day shred, and did 2 levels of Kettle Worx Fast Abs......ate pretty decent today too!

I finally went to the doctor to admit that I have massive anxiety issue and she is setting me up on a mental health plan.. It was one hard thing that I have been wanting to do for years and years but was always afraid to do it... But enough is enough

Nice Jamie I did this yesterday too! Also, I feel a bit sexy today and was getting wolf whistles when i was walking through the warehouse!

As I gained more and more weight I didn't see the use of looking after myself anymore because I felt fat and ugly anyway.
Last week I bought some make-up for the first time in 6 years and have been wearing it this week. Today I've painted my fingernails for the first time in years!
I'm finally starting to feel like a woman again rather then a blob of fat :bigsmile:
