I'm an administrative assistant in a real estate office and almost everyday the agents are ordering out for food. Today they ordered from our local pizza place which I love! But I said no and stuck to my brown bagged lunch. I ate with them and while everything smelled so delicious now that lunch is over I'm glad I don't have the carb overload and guilt of eating to much food. About a week ago I would have caved and gotten something :) small steps right?!

    That is the whole concept of being successful in weight loss.... Lots and Lots of minor discomforts equal a whole LOT of feeling GREAT!

    Congrats! That's a big victory! :) Most people don't have that type of self control. :)

    I only caved for pizza once...I was only able to eat one slice and afterwards I felt like throwing up. o.O I learned my lesson. Haha now I don't feel so bad about saying no :P

    And guess what?...Self control is like a muscle. It gets stronger with use.

    Thanks everyone! I've been trying really hard and usually I would say oh well you can just start over tomorrow, well I don't want to start over anymore I'm sick of starting over!
