Today I ate a chocolate bar!
I'm admitting it to the world, and I'm okay with it! I've come to realize it's all about choices. I made the choice to eat one chocolate bar. I recorded the calories and it fit within my goal for the day.
In order to make this a lifestyle change not just a temporary diet, I have to be able to eat things that ordinary diets would consider "bad". I don't think any one food is truly bad, it's all about how much you have. If I eat too much of any food, it's not going to be good for me... so it's all about moderation.
I know a lot of you have figured this out already, but I think it's just really starting to sink in!
Ohhh... and on a side note... I was looking at my last endeavour at "dieting"... back in 2008. In April 2008 I was 318 and it took me 3 long months to get there. Just watching my calories and moving more, has allowed me to achieve that and more in less time. And it actually feels sustainable!
So after a morning where I wanted to kill all the stupid people in the world (which if you'd asked, would have all worked in my office), I'm back to normal happy me... a little sarcastic, but me!

Brandy, you are doing great. You are so getting it, I love the embracing attitude!! It is all about baby steps, understanding each and managing the change.

That is the right attitude! I ate pizza today. Three slices of pizza. I was going to eat a pita bread sandwich, but I sat with my grandmother today and my mom brought back pizza for the kids. My first "mistake", if you want to call it that, was that I let myself get too hungry. I should have went ahead and made my sandwich. But, regardless, I made my mind up that I would eat pizza. I ate three slices. I figured my calories and I dealt with it. My supper is not what I planned, but within my calories for the day, so even if the pizza ended up being more than what FS says it was, I'm covered. I'm full, and tomorrow is another day. I've even told myself that I can have a snack later if I want. I have to give myself permission, or I'll get mad and use it as an excuse to eat. Great job Brandy!

It's great to hear that I'm actually making sense (and progress)... because sometimes, I do wonder!

@Kendra - we're absolutely on the same page! It's all about being accountable and honest with yourself.

Brandy, that is the only attitude to have. I don't see any reason why you can't eat the chocolate bar and still be healthy, just don't eat 3 a day ;)

Well I have to say that I could have had a chocolate bar, bag of chips and can of coke ... but I decided what I really wanted was the chocolate bar, and had it with a bottle of water! No point in eating stuff that is high calorie that I don't REALLY want!

I like that, its totally fine you had it. This is a lifestyle change. I know for me I have not stopped eating any of my favorite foods since starting. I eat pizza, chips, chocalte, tacos and cupcakes. But I stick to serving sizes or even half servings. And subsitite anything fat free and make my own pizza. Your are doing great so one bar wont hurt.
