in Food and Nutrition
I have had the WORST day today! I found out that an apartment I had applied for denied me because of my credit and I really wanted this apartment, i've been working so hard for this and the thing on my credit is from a hospital bill that I have from 4 years ago and because I had surgery right after my health insurance was cancelled. So i'm pretty bummed :( I'm also struggling a little with my diet because it is only my second day and I am feeling a little hungry. Then everyone in my family in my house decides to get Carls Jr. I can't explain how bad I wanted to just say whatever and get a big double cheeseburger with some fries and a large COKE!!!! BUT I stayed strong! I looked at the carls jr. nutrition facts and ordered something small that kept me even under my calories for the day! SO, I just wanted to share this with everyone because the old me would have FOR SURE cheated today and just ruined my 2nd day of dieting. But I just proved to myself that I can do this! :) Thanks for listening!

    Kudos to you!!! What a great accomplishment. The dreaded 'family gets to eat' temptation. AND the 'I'm so stressed and frustrated, 'where's the food' temptation. Way to hold your ground!! Keep it up!

    Awesome choice! It's harder in the beginning, but will get easier day-by-day! The more u avoid those foods, the less u wil crave them...and eventually you'll be able to dip and dab without over eating! So stay strong and good luck! We have all been there!!!

    Way to stay at it! Unfortunately there will be lots of things that happen in our lives that make us want to give up and indulge, but you gotta stay strong with a positive attitude and that is exactly what you did! :smile:
