Baby steps... one at a time...So I just wanted to share an achievement... it might not sound like one, but in contrast to last week, it's HUGE!
So I went to the mall and bought
Purdy's chocolates (this is where you're thinking, success??).
Success #1 - I only bought 5 chocolates (last time I went, I bought a box of 20 thinking I had self control... HA! that was a joke!)
Success #2 - Before I proceeded to eat all 5 chocolates, which I knew I would, I adjusted my dinner - removing the rice and increasing the amount of green beans so I'd be full. This allowed me to be under my set RDI of 1,900 calories. Last week, I would have just gone over my RDI and hoped to reduce calories later.
This week, I'm staying focused on the small successes.
