    I could have drove through McD's this morning to grab my favorite breakfast burrito combo with a large hazelnut iced coffee (900+ calories) but I didn't. Instead, I grabbed some peanut butter and jelly and slapped that on a couple rice cakes and had only 350 calories!

    I could have played World of Warcraft all day but I didn't. Instead, I did a round of 30 Day Shred then went to work.

    I could have given in to my nightly binge cravings, but I didn't. Instead, I came on MFP for support.

    Heh, I could have decided not to go for a walk before my raid today because I didn't have enough time but instead I decided to just speed it up a little so that I could get the same calorie burn in fewer minutes.

    But then I sat on my *kitten* for 3 hours and played world of warcraft.

    I could have stayed at home screaming at the kids to clean up their mess, but I didn't. Instead, I worked out at the gym for an hour and dumped them in the creche.... ah the serentiy

    I could have gone straight home and played video games but I didn't. Instead, I went to the gym and stayed there for 3.5 hrs.

    This is the most inspiring thread I've seen on here (including all the amazing before and after stories!)!!

    When I realized I couldn't work out today (cleaning our gerbil's cage took too long and since we live in an apartment we can't work out too late or we will wake the people below us), I could have figured the whole day was "ruined" and driven to the store and gotten lots of binge food. Instead, I had a smaller, 500 calorie binge and accepted that it was ok I was far from perfect today. Tomorrow will be better!

    I could have left that big bag of salted pretzels in the cupboard so I could nibble on a couple every time I opened the cupboard door and not remember to enter them into my food diary but I didn't, instead I put them in the rubbish for the bin men to collect today. No tempation so no cheating!

    I could have gotten a doughnut when hubby did but I didn't . Instead I bought a box of weight watcher sponge cakes and ate one.

    I could have taken the elevator to the conference room to see what food leftovers were there from an earlier meeting, but instead I took the stairs.

    Then, instead of getting any of the leftover homemade snacks, I took the stairs again to my office, where i snacked on a cucumber instead.

    Today, I could have taken the day off exercise and eaten whatever I wanted, but instead I logged my food, and went for a run with my husband.

    I could have been swallowed by my depression & used sleep to escape but I didn't. Instead, I got up this morning, I put on a brave face and I took the day one step at a time.

    I could have let myself get discouraged by going over my calorie count the last few days, but I didn't. Instead, I burned double my usual workout calories, and decided to leave some extra calories un-eaten :)

    Today, I could have scrounged up a chair to sit in while assisting at a registration table, but instead i just stood for the entire hour. (But I am glad to be done, and to see my office chair again lol.)

    Yesterday, I could have driven to Dairy Queen when my family made me so angry, but instead I took a hard, fast, long walk up a very steep road (and then back down again). Two months ago, I couldn't have even strolled a quarter of the distance without feeling like I was at death's edge.
