    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.

    Oooooh man those are the times when you willpower is tested! Great job! But I bet it feels good to tell people about 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.

    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?

    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 :)

    They had a whole leftover spread of Indian food at my work today. It looks spectacular! But I didn't eat any of it! It feels good to be able to say no to myself :-)

    Well you shold not deny yourself all the time....just have that ice cream in smaller portions. When you cheat...you are just cheating yourself :) Thats what I think :)

    And you need to put yourself in tempting situations to show yourself you can do it. If he offers you something really naughty and it makes you go over for that day....think about how good it would feel to brag to people about what you did :) Thats pretty much how this forum began lol

    HA! I was the same way when I asked someone 'what the heck is that' and they said PIG WINGS! (I work for an animal nutrition company with swine being our main species, so we see lots of pork dishes for our company lunches).

    So, here's a formal definition:

    'Pig Wings are made from Ham Shanks that are trimmed leaving just a single bone surrounded with lean tender ham meat."

    That definition doesn't do them justice. Lemme just tell ya - that's some gooooooood eatin'!

    Looked it up...and they are REALLY NAUGHTY! HAHA

    Pig Wings are shanks from the rear leg trimmed of a pig. Made from ham shanks. I think you like batter them or something.

    Doesnt matter because they are definately not healthy and a GREAT thing to "turn away" haha!

    We've never had them battered, just grilled or baked, usually with a bar-b-que type sauce.

    Still, I'm afraid to even try to Google the calories!!

    Good for you!

    There's this guy at work that insists I don't need to lose weight (even though I'm a good 10 pounds away from what is considered healthy) and is always trying to feed me garbage.

    I started by trying to be nice about it but after literally months of this every day at work I just want to punch him every time he asks me if I want Taco Bell or some other inedible crap.
