So I'm at work and this nice man on my team came over and brought me a Potbelly Oatmeal chocolate chip cookie......it looked SO good but I knew it was bad! I said "That was SO nice of you but I can't have it"

Glad i turned it away because I looked it up and it was 450 calories!

So today I am proud I made a healthy decision to say no :) What are you proud of today?

    My response is very similar to yours. A woman at my work is an AMAZING cook. There was an admin meeting in our building today and she made TONS of food. There was so much leftover that she put it in the lunchroom for everyone else to have some. I resisted and stuck to my packed lunch. Normally I would have taken a little of everything!

    Congrats! I am proud that I ate my soup for lunch instead of going to taco bell to get the beefy crunchy burrito with Frito's in it. Its over 500 calories!

    I turned away a soda, be it diet, I swore to only one diet soda a week and I had it last night. I looked down today next to the fridge and there it was staring at me....I thought to myself nope....can't have you until next Tuesday, hahaha. Good job on the cookie though, that was much harder than my soda.

    Social eating is so tough! Often people are truly offended / sad when you won't try their ______ (cookie, dessert, dish, etc.).

    Congrats on your discipline!

    Soda. I used to kick off every morning with a Mountain Dew. Then I moved to 7up..thinking it was "better"...now I'm on to water. It's been ROUGH...but so far today, no soda!

    It's my birthday and a woman I work with in an icecream cake, it was left over from a party she had last night. She sent a note to everyone in the office that it was in the freezer. I'm already going out to lunch and dinner, so I'm struggling with keeping my calories below my limit, so I turned it down. It sounded really good too.

    turned away the honey BBQ tater chips someone left in the breakroom... was ok when the bag wasn't open and then someone opened it and I could smell them when I went in there for lunch... so to avoid the bag for the rest of the day I have been going to another kitchen to get my water refills.

    Today I turned away an apple pie my hubby made last night. I took it to his work so he could eat it. Also I didn't have any last night. It is definitely a trigger food for me and I could eat at least half of the pie if I took just one bite. So YAY me and all of you too!!!

    I gave the left over tub of chocolates in my office to the maintenance team today. And yesterday I threw 5 cold sausages in the bin. That was hard, I love cold sausages

    This was last night but I'm still proud lol. My roommate and I had friends over and I sat in front of a table full of cookies, chips, dips, wine and juice for two hours, without touching one thing. I had a red pepper and hummus beforehand and drank water while we socialized.

    Work is a really hard place to be sometimes...but once you say "NO thanks" a good 30 times....people stop offering I've noticed haha

    Today I was offered a slab of home made chocolate cake with chocolate icing.

    And I said "No, thanks."

    I almost can't believe I said it.

    It is so sad to me how hard it is to say no, I must say that it is easier knowing that I am going to have to come track it so honestly I have turned away from too many things to list. Potatoe chips and french onion dip, cheeseburgers, MAC N CHEESE! (That was hard!) all kinds of stuff.........hard, but worth it. Someone mentioned GS cookies...my daughter is a girl scout, we haven't started selling yet. I want to take her out of girl scouts now! lol

    I grocery shopped today, too, and did a great job, lots of fruit and veggies, no candy (there's still some in the house though :blushing: )
    Wanted to get a candy bar at the checkout, didn't...
    Wanted to pop in the drive through fast food, didn't...
    Now all I have to do is get myself out to exercise, but it's cold and grey.

    Good job! I've been good at work. Walked past the donuts someone brought in. Last night though my husband brought out ice cream which is my weakness and I gave in a little. I would rather not deny myself and have a huge binge! Blame your brother Jeanine.....lol :)
