Survived my first REAL Temptation
Today I had a trial run for what awaits me on Thanksgiving. We went to a friend's house after watching a Thanksgiving Day Parade, and there was A LOT of food. For those of you who have been following the blog you know I'm detoxing from sugar in addition to dieting, so there a lot of things I can't eat. These are the foods that were available to me: baked beans, meatballs, ham, baked mac and cheese, dinner rolls, kale soup (it's a veggie soup made with a spicy meat), salad, pumpkin pie, apple crisp and brownies. What I ate: A big bowl of the Kale soup and a plate of salad. I've NEVER been to a party and NOT had dessert, EVER! NEVER EVER! Part of me was very sad that I couldn't have any, but part of me felt empowered because I knew I was doing the right thing, AND because "I" was in control. Oh, and I was at the gym this morning :-) I'm GOING to do this! I am GOING to LOSE this weight!!

That is a huge victory. It is so hard to say no to temptation especially around "special occasions" when there are foods you don't normally see. You may feel sad now but think of how good you will feel when you go jean shopping.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I craved sweets for the rest of the day and wrestled with overcoming thoughts that said, "Oh just go get one little thing." I didn't and when I woke up this morning the cravings were gone. Nobody said it would be easy, right? :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Michelle, I can't wait to either go jean shopping or have my own jeans fit again. :-)
Good for ya!
