    I get up early on a cold winter morning and go to the gym, instead of staying in the warm bed and dozing!

    I go through the McDonald's drive-thru every morning and order just a Diet Coke instead of the burrito meal I had become addicted to!

    I don't give into the free donuts vendors bring in at work, or eat the cake at the birthday meetings.

    I increase my weights at the gym and find it to be not only possible, but invigorating.

    when I go into the kitchen and have an entire pie staring at me, and I opt for carrots or broccoli, not because I know they're better for me, but because I actually WANT to eat them.

    I choose to go home and make dinner rather than stopping at my favorite diner (and the cinnamon horn for desert!)

    <At a cocktail party, with lots of friends, lots of good wine, & a table full of holiday potluck appetizers>

    <oh and the food, mostly store-bought - nothing out of the ordinary amazingly lovingly house-made :)>

    With my one drink in my hand, I survey the food table- In my head "yup - nothing good to eat" - then go to the non-food room and have a lovely evening catching up with friends.

    Impressed that I did not allow food the upper hand in my thoughts. I think I've turned a corner :)

    Yeah!

    I calculate my standing from a race and find I'm in the top 10% of ladies my age that ran that race! It inspires me to keep running!
