    My bar of chocolate last and lasts because I break off 20g each night to eat instead of eating the whole bar at one sitting :smile:

    You plan your day around your gym session lol, when to eat, when to go in to work etc.

    ...one day I had no desire whatsoever for fast or junk food. I just plain don't crave it. Even during TOM. That's HUGE for me.

    Also when I bought a 2nd set of measuring cups and spoons to take with me to work in case I need them. I've also considered buying a set of measuring spoons to keep in my purse, but I haven't gotten that anal yet. I'm pretty good at eyeballing it now.

    You work in a school and you go in on your recess break to discover an amaaaaazing morning tea spread put on for all the staff...

    ....and you eat your small but beautiful banana and decide to spend your hard earned morning tea break relieving others of their yard duty so they can enjoy the morning tea spread instead.

    I refused icecream after dinner yesterday. I eat icecream all the time but I had a heavy dinner and thought 'No I don't fancy any tonight' where previously I would have eaten it anyway.

    I have to remind myself NOT to work out the day after I've done an especially hard weight routine. I still can't believe that happens ... :happy:

    ^^ This! Who knew I was going to love exercise so much!

    When the guys at work are munching biscuits (cookies) every single day and not once have I thought 'ohhhh, I'd like one' - it's as if they have gone completely off my radar.

    Went out for chinese with the family for someones birthday and whilst the rest were eating chicken balls, duck, fried chicken etc etc I had boiled rice and some steamed vegatables, how rock 'n' roll hey. Also during my 4hour break at college I make sure I go home and do a workout in between. You don't realise until you stop and look back.

    Mine was the other day when my calf was hurting and I thought "Oh no my calf can't be injured now while I'm training for the 5K!" Never would have thought that would have come out of my mouth a year ago.

    I don't know if I am there yet but I love topic. Here is a mini one --- I did see someone order a 12" sub in front of me in line today and I thought, "holy, how do they eat all of that." Only months ago, I would have wanted a 12" too!

    I still eat footlongs! It's not about saying no to EVERYTHING, but just making healthy choices. Then again, I am a vegetarian so the veggie sub is very low calories.
    But yes, I always order a foot long. :)

    I hear ya - I reckon half the reason I need to lose some kilos is due to the staff morning teas/catered PD days/birthdays/thank-you teas etc that seem to happen. Aaarggh!!1

    When pizza became a super treat I had to earn by moving my butt and doing exercise rather than having it as the lazy dinner option because I couldn't be bothered to move.

    (Although I have since discovered I can make my own low cal versions).

    When I look at menus when eating out and first pick out what would be reasonable for calories and THEN deciding what I fancy out of those options, rather than going for the first thing that sounds appealing.
