So its not much but I was proud of myself so I wanted to share it. I was out this weekend roping and competing in rodeo and usually I eat all sorts of junk and constantly go to the concession stand for my meals. This weekend I packed a cooler of fruits, nuts, cheese, and other healthy snacks and only water (No beer!) My friends were all eating doughnuts and candy bars and all the other junk I used to eat all day but I resisted all of it all weekend! :) I didn't go to the concession stand at all and ate something healthy every time I thought I would slip. By the end of the weekend I felt really great about myself! Like I said not much but I had to share

    Ohhh, I know that feeling; I went out for dinner last week and made all healthy choices. I’m usually the one going all out with the starters and desserts.

    I couldn’t believe the scale was friendly the next day too, lol!

    Well done.

    Congrats! It is so difficult to continue eating healthy when you are in that environment. I have living quarters in my trailer and stock it healthy...but even then it is difficult.

    A definite victory! Temptation like that is so hard sometimes. Especially when your friends around you are caving & eating the junk. Great job on staying strong & making the right food choice!
