So i got home from a 14 hour day of work (two jobs)....and didn't take any meat out and jsut wasn't in the mood to cook. So i was going though my head "well if i get a 10 piece meal from mcdonalds thats like 800+ cals ...is it really worth it?....no...ok subway, i know ill get a footlong which is like 700 calories...no..chinese? no...." so i decided to go to albertsons (the only grocery store in town) and try to find something healthy there. Now i was extrememly tempted to get chicken strips and potato wedges from the deli....with who knows how many fat, carbs and cals, but i really thought about it and i grabbed a roasted chicken, pita chips(160 cal serving) cucumber,tomato and bell pepper salad, and mashed potatoes(for my dad, but i had 1/4 cup cause i couldnt' resist.)
Then i was bummed casue i been doing soo good and thought i would be like 500 calories over....but i went over jsut by 130 for my days worth....not too shabby. First time i went to the store on such an empty/tired stomach and actually chose "healthy" foods! Usually i would have just gone through the drive through and gotten a HUGE meal. I think i might be getting the hang of this!

Yup, that being in control of what I was eating by working with my numbers was all I needed to FINALLY get the weight off! I'm sure it'll be the same way for you too! Great feeling to be the one in control, isn't it?!!! :happy:0
