I had an NSV for me yesterday...
This may not sound that great of an accomplishment to some but for me it was. Yesterday I was craving Chinese, so I went and got some and they gave me a huge portion. I started eating it and became full, now the old me about a year ago would have ate the whole thing, because I bought it I was going to eat it....but, I stopped eating when I became full and put the rest away in the frig...

Seriously, I have never done that before, I would have eaten it til i was so miserable and felt awful the rest of the day...

so I'm proud of myself...

    That's a huge NSV! It took me forever to get to that point. Now, I try and ask for a "to go" container as my meal is brought to the table, and put half away for another time. I have never felt like I didn't eat enough when I only eat a half portion.

    WTG to you!

    Congrats! I have struggled with that, so I know how big a deal it is! It is definitely a victory because it's such a hard habit to break. I've used the excuses, too. I paid for it, don't want to let it go bad. May as well eat it all tonight as I have something else planned for tomorrow.

    Awesome job!

    Well done! That is a big success, it shows that your mind has taken over and you have the right mindset.
    It is crazy anyway how portion sizes have increased in the last 20 years.
