Well this evening my family and I went to dinner at my favorite resturant. When we are there I ALWAYS order a moutiain dew and cheese balls for an appetizer. Well, as we were driving there I made my mind up ahead of time, NO MT DEW. Today marks 8 days without it and I didnt want to crush my hard work (yes, 8 days is hard work). So, I ordered a water and didnt order an appetizer. Then when I ordered my meal instead of ordering fries or onion rings like I usually do, I ordered steamed vegetables. It felt great and really proud of myself when I left. And I felt satisfied when I left, not so full I feel like I wanna puke. Small steps baby!

    Way to go! Good for you! This is a tricky skill. I find it very hard because my hubby and daughter almost aways oreder appetizers. Hubby is getting better about it. Baby steps will bet you there.

    Great job! It's so hard to order veggies instead of our regular 'comfort' foods.
