OK, sometimes we just have to celebrate the little things (esp when the bigger things are eluding us...do you hear me, scale?!?)
In the last week there were three things that happened that made me very proud of myself:
(1) I spent an evening with my girlfriends yakking & yukking it up without drinking and without breaking my lo carb committment. I might have chewed a few more celery sticks and had a little more ranch dip than I should have, but I did NOT eat even ONE of those yummy looking pigs in a blanket nor did I sample one of the chocolate chip cookies for dessert.
(2) I got thru 4 days of battling strep throat and cold symptoms without comforting myself with comfort food, even though people offered to bring me things like milkshakes and apple sauce and frappuccinos....sigh.
(3) back at work today and did not bring my lunch as I normally do (cuz I had no energy to make it this morning) ~ instead of going out to grab chinese food (which I had quite a craving for), I went to the local sandwich shop, got a "BLT salad" and came back to the office to add some canned tuna & mayo...and had that instead.
I did not think I had it in me, but I did. Each time, I did have it in me. And I will continue to have it in me to resist those things that I know are counter-productive to my ultimate goal.
I do not wish to appear boastful, but I wanted to write this down to help remind myself that I DO have it in me & if this helps anyone else remind themselves of the same thing, well, so much the better!!
thanks for reading and celebrating with me!

I too believe we should feel free to "boast" about our little successes. Remember how we were before when things were just so out of control?
What an AWESOME week you had, I'm so glad you decided to share this with all of us...you should be very proud of yourself and all that you overcame and accomplished.
