An NSV. A small one, but still a victory.

I am just so happy about this. I have just moved house and have really been struggling. My Cousin and his girlfriend eat a lot of cr*p, and I get tempted. So I eat it. My Auntie brings home food from work - I end up eating it. I have just reduced my calories to 1450 and it really felt like I was limited. I feel like there's not much I can fit into that. Add to this, my stomach was a bit bloated. So, all these things lead me to believe I'd gained, or at least, maintained. I was feeling very down about it, to say the least.

BUT!

I weighed myself today and I've lost 2.5lbs!!!! That's 30.5lbs in total, and only 17.5lbs away from goal. I'm 165.5lbs now

WTG! Great job. You can learn not to bend to the temptations - just keep working at it. Every time you say no to something you will become a little bit stronger!

Keep up the good work. Funny how much our heads play games with us. You are going great!

saying "no" can be really hard. I read one of those little motivational pictures that said something along the lines of " you will regret that junk if you eat it, but you wont regret running that mile". Anyways, I try to think of that. I'm on a ship and to get to my shop I have to walk by the only vending machine on the ship which is stocked fool of colorful candies and chips. Sometimes I stop and just look, maybe to tease myself with the reeses, but in the end i know I will regret eating it if i do. Try thinking of that saying, it might help!
