Small victory...but a first for me!

I just returned from a benefit dinner, buffet style. Wine, beer, Croutons, Dinner Rolls, breaded chicken and fish, and potatoes, a huge dessert table, and a treat bag at each seat with caramel popcorn and chocolate.

I'm proud to report that I ate a green salad, no croutons, mixed veggies (zucchini/squash/green bean mixture), and a nice hunk of prime rib, skipping over the other breaded meats. No alcohol, no sweets, no bread, no potatoes! Left the treat bag at the table. I have NEVER skipped dessert at such a thing, and never, never left behind free sweets. I had a bit of a mental battle, but I went in prepared, and I left a victor!

Next battle: the inevitable church donuts and cake tomorrow...One day at a time!

    It really isn’t small-being able to take this lifestyle change into the real world- it is an amazing step.
    Having the strength to maintain what you are doing will help the next time you are faced with those chooses.

    Well done!

    Awesome NSV! The more you succeed the more you become aware of how over fed "we" have allowed ourselves to be.

    I love your "one day at a time" attitude. every moment counts, and if you don't make an amazing choice in the moment remember that the very next moment you can. Congratulations!
