Another Victory!

[TropicalBeachLover]

DH and I went to see 'Avatar 3-D' last night. I made sure to eat before going, and stuffed a water bottle (24 oz) in my purse. DH, sabateur extraordinaire buys a ginormous soda and popcorn.

Normally I would be chowing down on that greasy popcorn (hard to resist!), but I didn't even touch it!

In fact, I wasn't even tempted. For about 4 seconds I thought to myself "do I want to cheat? Nah, not worth it."

I was amazed at myself. Normally just the smell of popcorn is craving inducing, and it was sitting right next to me, and I let it go without any regret.

Thanks Atkins!

Way to go!

I went to the movies Thursday night (my first since starting this WOE) and felt so good with myself for not even being tempted to have any kind of snacks, too.

It does feel good, doesn't it?

Re: Another Victory!

yes, it does feel great!

Msdizzy--good luck! I think that's great you're going to give her the full movie experience. I took my daughter for the first time --I think we saw "Happy Feet." It was a stretch for her (patience) but she had fun. Hope yours has fun, too.

Re: Another Victory!

Great job! When I went and saw Avatar, the movie projector thingy broke half way through and we had to get a refund. I still have not seen the second half.

Re: Another Victory!

Good job for planning and eating something before leaving for the movie!

Re: Another Victory!

I went to Avatar yesterday as well, but I failed unlike yourself (well the failure took place after the movie). Roommate decided to order pizza, I was heavily under the influence of acid and hadn't eaten all day (I know not much of an excuse, but still was the major factor). Was on my second slice when I realised what I was doing. Restarting induction today.

Told my roommate he is no longer allowed to order pizza or any food for that matter while I am under the influence of anything. You just tend to forget things it seems...
