    Tough day!

    Today was grocery day and my husband picked all the stuff we used to eat, donuts, yoohoo, cookies, etc etc tons of junk that I used to snack on all day. I just wanted a donut, I wanted one bad! so I popped a boil egg and did laundry but that darn donut was still on my mind...just one bite! I said but then I remember that awesome will power I have and knew that if I took a bite I will take another and since I had already taken two what the heck? just eat a few more and maybe drink it down with a yoohoo. Now that the whole thing is shut to heck start over again tomorrow, so I stepped back and hang on. Did not cheat but it was Hard! the hardest day so far on this journey. I hope I can step back when others come up. phew!

    Re: Tough day!

    Hang in there... There was a chocolate iced sheetcake at the office today - everyone but me ate a slice, including a diabetic who is very overweight! I took the opportunity to enlighten him about Atkins' diet's advantages, and indulged myself in <1Tsp of icing as I offered a free week's pass to the new local fitness center.

      That is so hard. You did GREAT! You should feel good about how you handled that and remind yourself tomorrow that you made it through today. No worries about extra sugar, weight, guilt, etc. You made good choices and don't you feel better for that?

      I have to hide things at time. If I don't see them, it is usually ok. I put all the snacks, cereal, etc in one cupboard. Out of habit I will look in it but then remind myself that there is nothing in there acceptable for me.

      Keep up the good work!

        Remember that he isn't being supportive and thinking of your needs when he puts that stuff in the cart. So don't let him win by giving in and eating that junk. Hide it somewhere and tell him where you have put it but keep it out of sight. It will be easier for you. Good for you for staying strong. You have some great goals ---don't let his thoughtlessness hold you back.

        HW (this time) 248
        GOAL ONE 228         (take 2)
        GOAL TWO 213 (personal goal)
        GOAL THREE 199 ONE-DERLAND
        FINAL GOAL 165

         It's not about the results. Its about the process.
