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. :wink:

    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:

    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.

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

    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!

    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.

    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!!

    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!
