OK so this weekend I knew I was going to the state fair, I am a total junkie for fair food, so i prepared myself to go over my calories alot. I actually did very well. I did not eat the funnel cake, i did not have any alcohol, i skipped the ice cream ( i only had 1 bite of a deep friend Oreo), I did not have nachos, no french fries, etc and I splurged on a Gyros. Well I go to my computer today, and I added in everything I ate, and before i added walking around for 4 hours, i have only gone over by 63 calories, even after I included my breakfast of Pacakes (463 Calories!! I am NEVER eating pancakes again!) and my "dinner" of a sweet potatoe and Yogurt. I am very happy with myself for deciding not to eat the things i love at the fair. And strangly, I do not feel deprived. I think before I just ate everything because it smelled so good, this is the first time that the smell was enough for me! Just had to share my excitement!

    I went to the fair last weekend. I splurged on a steak sandwich, choc covered strawberrries, strawberry shortcake, and some kettle popcorn. Ohh and I brought fudge home but only had a little piece. Wow thats sounds like so much when I type it out :embarassed: Good for you for resisting the tempations!!
