Default temptation averted!

I don't usually like to brag, but today I am giving myself a pat on the back. Today was our spring lunch at work. You have never seen so many good things to eat in your life. There was almost nothing Atknins friendly. There must have been 20 different desserts there. The old me would have just eaten all of it and said I will start back tommorow. But i didn't I got a few raw veggies. 1 meatball and a couple pieces of cheese. Then at my break time I ate the wonderful salad I had brought with eggs and chicken in it. I was thinking how happy I am I made it through that while I was munching away!!!!!!!

Awesome. Good job. I've had one or two of those since I started as well and it does feel good. On the odd occasion when it feels "bad", I "cheat" by having one of the induction friendly deserts when I get home OR ..... an Atkin's bar, CarbSolutions or PowerBar low carb bar.... (only if it can be purchased individually).

I figure even if one of those bars are "cheating" it's a **** of a lot better than ......

Strawberry Shortcake or chocolate cake with a 32 oz glass of milk.




You rock.

Thats a well deserved pat on the back. Its great when you can turn your back on temptation isn't it? I think the first time you do, it makes it easier the next time and the next. You should reward yourself by doing something nice for yourself. Manicure or something!

Thanks you guys! It is always so great to come here and be encouraged! I was already thinking I am going to reward myself by taking some alone time this evening. No kids, no hubby, just me and a long bath and a good book!!

Good for you! Isn't it a great feeling when you resist temptation? And it gets easier and easier...
