small NSV, but I'm sure others can relate

Tonight, walking into work on night 3 or 4. Terrible week, I'll spare you the details.....But on my way in I was tired and headed to the caf thinking I'll just say screw it tonight! Then a voice said, "you're not hungry, you're just stressed." I got black coffee and stayed on track... I know this seems small but it felt like a victory!
Anyone had a similar experience?

Awesome! I am in a similar boat tonight, stressed and bored and strolled into the kitchen craving cheese to snack on- since I realized I was not hungry, just bored more so than anything, I fixed myself some bell pepper slices and carrots with a bit of hummus. Easily 70% less calories then I would demolish in cheese, and it fixed my need for something to much on while adding some nutrition to the fix.0

Absolutely get it! I have exams this week and usually this level of stress would send me straight to the junk food and probably send me into a pattern of binging. And this is the first time EVER in memory I managed to not just delay the cravings/urge to binge, but actually 'get over them'. It feels so great to know giving in is not inevitable.

This relates to one of the best quotes I read on that favourite quote page, which is: If it's not hunger, food won't fix it!
Congratulations :flowerforyou:0 -
That is not a small NSV, that is a major one! Overcoming those old habits is so hard, and you did it! Yay!0

This quote is amazing. Going to repeat to myself often from now on....good habit-breaking mantra.0 -
You're right, it is HUGE! So glad for you that you could discern the voice of discouragement and the voice of reason. I think most of this journey is like that, and being honest about things, facing them as they come. Yay!!!0

Cake in the break room at work. Didn't eat any = WIN.0

Great work!
I've had two similar experiences this week:
- home made choc brownies in the lunch room yesterday (considered them... but walked past and SMILED) and I was by MYSELF. This is a major win. I'm a secret eater.
- today there was office-wide take out Chinese food order. Was offered to me but kind of made me queasy and I said no thanks straight away. So I ate salad and stinky tinned fish as discretely as I could
Am sure the whole office stinks now as a result... but I don't really care too much. 0 -
