Non-scale victory moment for me today. No, it was not weight related but food-related. DH and I were out shopping and he got hungry. I had lunch a couple of hours before but was feeling peckish. My husband wanted McDonald's and asked me what I wanted from there...Oh boy. I have not eaten out or had any type of fast food in over 2 months. The last time I ate out was Subway. I said nothing, I went to the grocery store across from McDonald's and found some fresh mixed berries with a fork provided, already weighed out. I also bought me a diet Snapple. Altogether my calories were 99. My husband was able to enjoy his burger, he rarely eats out either, and I was able to avoid the fast food and had some berries instead. This is a non-scale victory for me because normally I would have had 2 burgers and some fries. I came home a couple of hours later and had some cucumber slices, 2 slices of smoked turkey, and 1/4 cup cottage cheese. This was 133 calories in total. I feel like I achieved or reach a stepping stone on my path to become a healthier person. Even if the scale don't move this week, I'll be happy with this NSV!
