What will you say no to today? Today I've said no to candy corn, calorie laden nuts and chocolate.

Wow! I never say no to nuts or chocolate. LOVE them both!
Today I'll say no to eating over my calories11 -
@amgreenwell You never say no to nuts or chocolate? That's awesome. Sometimes I have to because they don't fit into my day. I like it when I can reserve some calories for a nice bit of chocolate after dinner though!
Today, I said NO to ordering out with my coworkers. I ate my prepped and measured lunch instead6 -
I actually really needed this thread today as a reminder to just say NO. I walk 25-30 miles a week and stay very active but I really struggle to lose weight. The truth is that I am like a large baby; if I can get my hands on it, it's going in my mouth. Today I'm going to work on just saying no. If it's there, you don't have to stick it in your pie hole even though you want to. Thanks for the refresher!5

I never say no....just take it and turn the corner to the nearest trash
By the way.....is candy corn coming out for the fall season already?2 -

Nothing. The foods I'm eating today are the foods I've chosen to fit into my goals. Including the ice cream I have planned for after dinner.
Plus candy corn is an abomination.4 -
Yesterday I said no to a jerk chicken wing my husband couldn't finish because his eyes were too big for his stomach and offered me after I had finished and logged my own lunch. He doesn't usually do that, he knows better. I told him either put it in the fridge for later or chuck it.4

I said no to my intense cardio session today.. too sore2

candy corn is pretty easy to say no to! Lol2

Oh boy. I don't have anything to tempt me today, but tomorrow is the company frosty truck coming by. It'll be hard to say no to that but I'm gonna try.2

I said no to my greatest weakness, cheesy breadsticks, that my friend ordered as an appetizer. Only ate my salad (huge salad). It was tempting. Oh soooooo tempting. But not worth skipping dinner for.1

I eat a lot of different kinds of foods, including ice cream as well, but that doesn't mean I say yes to everything. For me, learning to say no when I knew something didn't fit in my plans was an important skill to develop. Whether it was turning down a casual dinner at my parents' house for the fourth time that week when I knew I had leftovers at home or just saying no when my brain wanted a second or third helping of ice cream or nuts or whatever. I'm surprised at those who don't say no to ~anything~ ever. That's how I got fat. I found that sometimes a little no is necessary for weight loss, ime.9 -

I want to like it, say it's inspiring, and insightful too but the forum just said NO to multiple choices!2 -
I said no to elimination dieting, get rich quick schemes, lose weight fast schemes, and anyone offering a free lunch.
I've got this *kitten* down pat.5 -
For me I suppose it was the ice cream vendor at the farmer's market that was making fresh waffle cones. Today wasn't a day I felt I needed to give in to anything like that.
Since I have switched from simply low carb/high protein and eating 6 times a day to keto and 20:4 intermitent fastign, I have to be much more mindful of my carbs but despite being a huge sweets person for nearly 50 years, it has been surprisingly easy to walk away.
I have them now and then and when I do it is typically a full blown cheat day type of thing but unlike in the past, I don't really crave them anymore. That isn't to say I don't enjoy them when I have them, but I have managed to not feel the need to just go crazy for days and days eating nothing but sweets and breads.1 -

You can do it. We had a meeting a few weeks ago at work and they ordered about 50 pizzas from a place I love. I didn't have any even though it was in my eating window and although there were enough left for many people to take home, I walked away.1 -

I've planned for pancakes and eggs for supper, and then ice cream before bed.
I've been saying no to the peanut butter in my cupboard all week, I should fit some of that in tonight too.
I prefer to look at it as saying, not right now. Especially if it's something I really enjoy. Other things are easy to say no to.4 -
I needed this thread today! We are having a "morning tea"at my office this morning that will include all sorts of cakes and things as it's someone's birthday - I will not eat all the cakes! Or biscuits. Or scones. I WILL have a cup of herbal tea.2

A little different point but I wish my friends, family and co-workers would learn to just say "No, thank you," to the servers who ask if anyone wants dessert. They're busy! They don't have time to listen to your explanation of the diet you're on, or why you aren't hungry, or the gastroesophageal reflux disease that would be activated by too much food and they don't need to see you rub your stomach and hear you moan about how full you are. Just say, "No thanks." Please.4
