victory over temptation

We had a party at work today.  It was Mexican themed and there were lots of yummy, cheesy, fat filled foods.  I didn't eat anything; I brought my own healthy lunch.  It was hard, though.  The smell of cheesy dips and other delightful things made for a difficult day.

I was proactive.  I sent a text to my son, and an email to my accountability partner.  It also helped that several people commented on my weight loss today.  I think more people are noticing because January is weight loss resolution month.

After leaving work, I did not stop at the grocery store to buy binge food.  That can be a temptation for me after resisting temptation somewhere public.  I overcame the urge, though.

I feel good about today, and proud of my choices!

  1. You should be proud. Mexican food will be there when you get to goal and can handle things a little better. Food is everywhere and always will be. You were in charge - now you know you can do it if you have your priorities set and know what you have to do to get the weight off. Well done.
