NSV - I beat the urge!

Have you ever had one of those days where you really want to eat all the bad stuff? You want to load up your grocery cart with temptation? Then you want to go home and just sit on the couch and not workout? Well, yesterday was one of those days for me. First we went out to dinner and I had to fight so many cravings for high calorie, high fat items. I succeeded! Then we went to the grocery store and those doughnuts and Doritos looked SO GOOD! But I forced myself to pass by them. Then we got home and I so wanted to just sit on the couch and watch the playoffs. But we did a video from 30DS. Eat that FAT! You do not have control over me!

    Well done, thats WILL POWER for you... I get them days, my partner and my 2 little girls have little treats that I'm not allowed and even though there is 1 packet of biscuits in the cupboard and the girls have a few sweets I'm being so good by not touching them.... Hard work but soooooo worth it :wink:

    I often have those days, and luckily like you, I have pushed the urges aside and carried on with my healthy ways :) It's a struggle but if you want it bad enough, you'll do what it takes to get it!
  • YAY! That's awesome!! You know what else I love? Those days when you are craving something healthy, or antsy because you a dying to go exercise. These are signs that you are truly a healthier, happier, more-in-control person.

    GOOD FOR YOU!

    I love how you said "Eat that fat!! " Lol

    I have these urges, and if I give in...I call them a binge. I don't like them.

    When I beat those urges , I feel wonderful... doesn't happen everytime, though.

    Way to friggin' go!!! Be proud :D

    Nice one!!! These are my favourite NSVs. Everytime I make a healthy choice in a situation where I usually wouldn't have I celebrate a little NSV!!! I went to a burger place Wednesday night and had a salad despite all my friends ordering big juicy burgers and chips (I did sneak three of these but ONLY 3!!!). Felt great afterwards

    Great NSV

    Yes.. the last 2 weeks have been crazy stress at work for me. Yesterday, I told hubby to go ahead and order pizza, knowing I could have a couple pieces for dinner and stay within my calories for the day still. He thought he'd do something nice and ordered my favorite, the chocolate dunker sticks along with the pizza. I just looked at him.. "Really?!" And then he realized what he did. He felt bad, but I managed not to eat a single one. I was sad for missing them but proud that I could make myself NOT eat them lol.

    Way to go!

    You've gotta train that guy to arrange for your favorite exercise instead.

    It feels so good to know that you are in control and not the urges! Way to go.

    They always put the Doritos on the end of the isles in Morrissons as well :/ I hate it when I'm craving, usually avoid supermarkets completely. Well done :)
