Goodie Day Success!!!!

[becka]

I was so proud of myself that I just really wanted to share with you. My section at work has monthly goodie days and it is always so hard to stay on program when you have all of these great treats right there for you.

Today I tried to mentally prepare myself BEFORE I saw the food. I was determined to enjoy a few of the offerings but I would make sure to pick the best of what was available. So I passed up the french toast casserole, and the donuts and the raspberry cheesecake and the cookies, etc. and I ended up with 1/4 of a large bagel w/ a little veggie cream cheese, 1 club cracker with 1 slice of colby jack cheese, 2 chunks of pineapple and 7-8 grapes. I ate slowly while I talked to my co-workers and when I was finished I just kept drinking from my water bottle.

I was so proud of myself. I figured that I used about 4.5 points and I can easily build that into my day. I had oatmeal for breakfast (4 pts) and I will probably go to Subway for lunch (6-8 pts) and still have plenty of points left to enjoy dinner tonight.

I am so proud of myself because these are such a challenge and I have NEVER done so well. Successes like these make me really believe that I can succeed and that I can attain my goals to be fitter, healthier and thinner. This board and your encouragement is such a huge part of this and I want to thank every one of you.

You go, girl!!! I'm proud of you. Resisting is not easy to do (as I'm finding today with the smell of pizza wafting through the office)! Keep up the good work!

Becka, that is the most awesome statement you could ever make!!!!! I want you to read this every day!!!! You are totally IN CONTROL and really doing it! What an empowering thing to write, to think, to read, to focus on!!! Kudos to you! I am really proud of you too!!!! You must be totally soaring! It's moments like this that really make it all worth it to me. I love all the posts that I read here, but your words are a treasure!!! You've done more than stick to your WW eating plan, you have made leaps and bounds in the "thinking" healthy department too - you are feeling better about yourself for the choices you have made. Isn't that wonderful?

Feels like a break through moment to me. Just bask in this one for a while. You deserve 10 bajillion gold stars today!

Thanks for sharing!!! Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Becka, this truly is a success worth sharing, and I am so glad that you did! You had a plan and you stuck to it...way to go! So these "goodie days" are monthly? I have no doubt that each one will get even easier for you as time passes. Keep it up Becka!
