Thought I would record this for when I'm feeling like I can't control or keep it under control - these are all NSV's (non-scale victories :)
In the past two days, I have avoided:
- Carmel Apple pie brought in by a co-worker. I love apple pie and I love carmel. I would have not thought twice about taking a large slice before and probably going back for seconds later on the day.
- A giant bowl of chocolate and candy in the back.
- Going to a pizza buffet. I thought about it not from the standpoint of "oh, I can cheat" or didn't get that "screw it" feeling... or even worse get that excited feeling of eating something so yummy. THAT's the one I battle with most, the excited joy of eating something that's no good for you, almost like you're sneaking.
- Instead, we went to the taco buffet, which typically is something that I looked forward to every week. I would fill a fried flour shell bowl with heaps of beans, rice, beef, chicken, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream and fried cinnamon sugar pita chips. Instead, I filled my entire plate with lettuce, cheese, beef, shredded chicken, a tablespoon or two of diced tomato, and sour cream, all low carb friendly. I didn't eat any chips that were brought to us. I didn't have any cinnamon chips. I didn't have any shell, fried or not.
- At the same place, they were selling those $1 chocolate bars for a school fundraiser right where you check out. I avoided, even though I know the chocolate almond one is to die for.
- I avoided one of my biggies - making something sweet for dessert at night last night. Believe I thought about it once or twice. But I didn't act on it.
Keeping track of my NSV's here is making me feel like I have some control, because they are truly victories for me.
