One small thing!

I did not look at the bear claws from Panera,
I did not eat any
I know small things add up, one day at a time , 1 hr at a time, yes we can

I wanted a treat. I reached for sugar free gum. 🏆

Ok. I’m feeling a little extra bad about the dumb brownie I ate today. I’m inspired by your self control.

My one small thing today is creating an online presence here, reaching out for help and offering support & appreciation to others.

I ate the bite sized Snickers bars They weren't worth it. Lesson learned. Today I forgave myself for giving in when I pretty much already knew that they weren't going to serve me well, but ate them anyway. And I'm tossing the rest of the bag. My win was a good long walk outside, and my body weight routine that makes me feel like a Herculean queen

I had veggie sticks instead of the doritos I really wanted. Still unsure as to whether I'm at peace with that decision, but I'm sure it'll be good in the long-run 😉

Reading this thread and having lost 45lbs and kept it off for three years, I think people should know, you can have the snickers. You can have the cake. You can eat the ice cream.

Life is short. It’s meant to be spent enjoying. Food can be social enjoyment.

The first year and a half I was like most people on this thread. I was so afraid that a piece of cake some how may break all of my hard work. Honestly, it doesn’t.

I would encourage people to learn about their TDEE. Understand CICO. Learn portion sizes to calorie ratios. Have a nutrition plan that you know will meet your life goals. Whether that’s needing higher protein for muscle gains, more carbs for endurance or a balance of all three micro nutrients that ensures you can meet your nutrition plan and feel full.

If you spend time working on understanding how your body process these nutrients, and have a daily calorie goal in mind, I’m pretty sure a 200 calorie snicker bar here or a piece of cake for a birthday party there, will not be your demise.

Again, it took me almost two years to trust myself. This past summer has been the best summer. As I’ve maintained my goal weight (+/- 3lbs), and enjoyed weekend ice cream runs, restaurant food and desserts. And I’ve enjoyed all of that with my family and friends.

Just some advise from a guy that’s been in your shoes. Have the 🍪! But have a plan too!
