I was just thinking about the weekend and how this weekend differed from normal weekend. I was also thinking about past 4th of July weekends and how this year was different. In years past it was a free pass to eat and eat and eat. This year I made a pact with myself to only eat what I needed and not as much as I wanted. I did let myself have some treats but I was mindful of what I put in my mouth. No, I didn't track it. But I realized that I have learned a lot on this new lifestyle path and I can apply it. I feel good about how the weekend went. I even had two cookouts yesterday. I ate at both but I never felt stuffed or guilty. I am learning. I can do this. I can do this for life. That makes me feel so good. What did you do or learn about yourself this holiday weekend?
