Rough Food Challening evening

[Judy Robinette 51]

I went to go do my favorite thing with the family and friends this evening. We went to watch the races at the dirt track! I had a blast, but everyone was eating my favorite things, nachos and cheese, French fries with cheese and chili, burritos....... Kept asking me want some, and I of course said yes I do, but No thanks. It was so hard to not touch any of it. I just drank my Water and watched the race. So very challenging. All in all I made it through the evening without giving into my indulgences:) I am proud of myself, but it was so hard!

You did great! Every time you get through a situation like that you get stronger. Keep up the good work.

Great job!!! I had a similar situation this week where I was standing in my work's breakroom heating up my Meal Replacement and my only other companion was 5 pizza boxes and powdered donuts. I had to stand there by myself with no other witness and not touch it. I did it and I was so proud of myself when I got back to my desk but wow was I sad while I was in there lol!!

Oh I hate that, but man, when you get through it you feel 100x more accomplished than just eating clean for a day normally. Hi 5

I hope you feel great accomplishment... It is so very hard at first. I have a friend that said she misses her going to get icecream friend when I said I didnt want to go. I said I would go, I just wont eat anything...

Keep up the great decisions!!!

Wow!! How strong are you!!! I can relate! I am still on my pre-op diet, but I have survived two pizza party lunches (last week of school there are lots of celebrations with food) and endless cakes and cupcakes. I drank my yummy Protein Shake and Water and had no pizza or cake. One of the other teachers said, "I can't believe how strong you were!" That made me feel great! We can do this!

Thank you all for the compliments! It was hard, but yes I feel so good that I was able to just say no thanks! The only other thing that is bothering me is that I am stuck at the same weight loss of 16lbs. Given that I haven't had a fill, is this normal or should I being doing something? I began exercising yesterday, mostly swimming because I am still recovering from a severe ankle break from February.
