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 :-)0

tortilla strips and salsa from the Mexican Restaraunt! I was able to stick to the
chicken taco salad no sour cream

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
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 0 -
I turned down a bite of my husband's Costco hotdog!0

I'm really proud that I turned away pig wings! (yes - I said pig wings!)
ohhhh so is that why pigs can't fly!
Seriously though.... what are pig wings.
I want to know what pig wings are also!:huh:0 -

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!0 -
Breaded chicken wings...my family had some for dinner and man they looked good but I didn't touch any of them0

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!!0 -
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.0 -
I'm proud that I passed on some very very seductive brownies today! I saw them and made a quick exit after grabbing my green tea.0
-
I really really REALLY want a Kit Kat bar.
Started my TOM yesterday, and I've been obsessed with the idea of eating one ALL DAY.
There's a pharmacy just across the street from where I work, too. Could have made a quick trip across the street during my lunch break... but didn't. Ate soup instead.
It helps that it's so freaking cold outside! 0 -
I had a Butterfinger candy bar for a snack, and then the craving was SATISFIED! No sugar binge ensued, had a healthy dinner and stayed within recommended calorie allotment! SUCCESS!0

OMG- a co-worker was passing out Dove chocolate today- one of my weaknesses- and I turned it down- knowing I would have to put it on my calories and work it off later- I opted for a chocolate fiber bar instead0
-
Today I was proud that I turned away Dr Pepper.....my #1 weakness. I have a 2 liter sitting in my fridge & everyday I look at it & think "well just one glass" but know that I don't need it. I have 2 more days until I've been 2 full weeks without any & I plan to meet my goal.0

Ice cream and tater tot casserole0

I turned away nothing today, but I stayed under my calories. Cookies and milk was sooooo worth the extra 45 minutes at the gym. 0

Hi...Great topic....
I work nights at a power plant, and coffee is this full-on CULTURE...A huge pitfall of mine has become flavored coffee creamers...all those lovely varieties! (chemically created of course)..
I've counted the calories, and it can add up to literally the high hundreds, or even thousands of extra calories per day
So.....I bought 1 % milk, and splenda, and I've had 2 cups tonight with NO CHEMICAL CREAMER!
I'm proud of myself....9 more hours to go 0 -

Great job! I started drinking more coffee since it supresses my apetite...and actually used Peppermint light whip cream instead of creamer...only 15 cals for 2 tbsp. Yes, "CHEMICALS " I'm sure...but great alternative to high cal creamer
I was on a no chemical kick for a while...you would be suprised how many chemicals are in processed "anything!" crazy.0 -
Not food-related, but today I'm proud that I turned away laziness. When my alarm went off at 5:30 this morning I did NOT want to get up to do my workout -- especially with a sleeping hubby and animals surrounding me -- but I knew I'd regret it later today if I kept sleeping. Made for such a better day getting up and getting my workout in

oh. my. gosh. i went to my favorite local italian restaurant with some work peeps and they ordered a couple appetizers for the table -- bruschetta made with goat cheese (yum!) and something cheesy and gooey called mozzarella en carozza (double yum!). i passed on both and stuck with a single slice of cheese pizza and a small salad.0
-
Awwww! So proud of you guys! Good to see I am not the only one proud of saying no today LOL0
-
Nice...
I really like peppermint-flavored stuff....I'm going to look for some of that!0 -
I was at Vons buying a salad for lunch and almost reached out for a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup candy!!!!! It was so tough because my mouth had already started watering. It was just sitting there next to the check out stand screaming, "BUY ME/ EAT ME!"0
-
Chocolate and what would have been my second coffee of the day!0

Not sure if you have a Dominicks...I'm in IL....but they had it there. I'm sure any grocery store has it. 0 -
Yay...a new day! I kinda love seeing my calories reset everyday...feels like a fresh start
So far no donuts or anything to say no to in the office LOL How are yours going so far?0 -
I'm glad I didn't give in to laziness either. I didn't want to exercise today and although I didn't do alot I did get some in0
-
like an earlier poster - i said no to sleeping in........I got out of bed at 5:30 and worked out!! a first for me! I threw out chocolates that were sitting in my kitchen that I was continually eating just because they were there.......and I declined snacks at work this morning that someone brought in.............Yesterday was not so good, but today I feel back on track.0
-
Ah yes, it happened again today. At work....they had a bday with cake. My coworker baked it and we counted up the cals...9900 for the whole cake!
So I am proud that I said NO today to the work Bday cake! haha0
