Alright guys, this might seem silly but it's a **big** stepping stone for a fat chick.
Started tracking food last Thursday and actually started eating the recommended calories on Monday.
Today I forgot to take lunch with me, which was **dangerous**!!! I went to Sonic and saw their Red velvet cheesecake blast.
But there was no real temptation! It was a thought of 'hmm, that sounds good' then ordered the healthier lunch of a grilled wrap sans ranch and apples. And I was FULL with no after thought of 'I need ice cream or something heavy'.
OMG! Before I would have ordered a HUGE sandwich, fries, a coke, and ice cream. . . eating until I felt that 'so full I'm going to explode feeling'.
Might sound silly, but for this fat chick it was an opening-eyes-wide experience.

Great job!!! You should be so proud of yourself!0

Good for you....stepping stones...small achievements!!!!!!!!!! May you continue to have this kind of strength!!!0
-
I love those moments!! Keep up the good work! They will start happening more and more often and they are still special every single time!0

Well done! I think it is more attitude adjustment that we need to get used to and that was great, I myself turned down jaffa cakes the other day, one is not too bad for you but I would never have stopped at one :laugh:0

Hey I've been there---that is a huge accomplishment!!! I know exactly where you are coming from. Just keep repeating that accomplishment and eventually it will be second nature.0

Congrats Lulu! It's the little things that make the biggest difference!0

Not that small of a step at all, temptation can be killer. You did great and should be proud of yourself.0

That's great! At the end of the day - not only do we have to lose the weight but we have to re-educate ourselves about food... it's so much more than just weight loss...
Hope you manage to do this every time! But if on the odd occasion you don't manage it - don't beat yourself up - just dust yourself off, remind yourself WHY you're doing it, and get back on it!

From one fat chick to another...keep up the good work hunny! :bigsmile:0

We all have different little "big steps"--congratulations on this you for you. I know that I feel really proud every time I make a choice that is not a potato chip. So be proud of your big step--it all counts.0

Small achievements like this out weigh the ones we chose to really get excited about. This is the 1st step of mind re-adjustment. Congrats!!0

That's great! I've also expierenced something small .... I have learned that I don't HAVE to eat a whole bag of chips (the small bag). I can actually eat 1/2 a serving (which is about 5 chips) and feel satisfied! Also I have learned to stare chips right in the "face" and just keep on going - there's an open bag on my kitchen table and I have not been tempted to eat them. All day I have walked by and have just ignored the bag. Yay meeeee and yay youuuuu!0
