I said "No!"
And I meant it.
We were in the drive thru of a fast food joint. And I said no.
I was offered anything on the menu. And I said no.
I was offered anything on the menu for FREE. And I said no.
I'd rather go home and make my own lunch.
So I did. And ate probably as many calories as I would have, but HEALTHY calories. I'm twice as full as I would of been, and 4 times as happy.

Words can not describe how proud I am of myself. I was the girl who ate 4 double cheese burgers a day, probably 5 days a week. I loved fast food. It was fast. And I could eat it. And it was yummy. Now the thought of it kind of makes me sick to my stomach.

To those starting out, keep at it.
To those who have kept at it. Thanks for the encouragement. It is possible.

Powerful...I have been struggling with that but thanks for the encouragement....I'm getting back on track slowly but surely and have said some tiny "no's"...like that extra piece of chocolate or to having a full can of soda as opposed to a couple of sips from my husband's can....I know they are really small...but small NOs grow and become big NOs don't they? :-)
