Hope everyone had a fantabulous holiday with family, friends and fun!
Let's just be real, it was Thanksgiving - I ate! Of course I ate! I had plenty of yummy, non-diet foods. I enjoyed myself and every scrumptious bite that I put into my mouth. But it isn't the same! First, I didn't have any dessert. Now, anyone who knows me knows the insane sweet tooth that I have. Cookies, brownies, cakes....if there were no sweets in the world I'd be thin as a rail! But I used discretion yesterday, and I am IMMENSELY proud of myself for it.
My mind is controlling my body, instead of allowing my body to dictate what we were going to eat, when and how much. Those days are long gone. This thing is SO mental. It really is all in your mind. I didn't bring home leftovers, and my friend tried to get me to bring home cake and I refused. If that cake is in this house, it's going to get eaten! I said I'm progressing, I'm not delusional.
Before we left for dinner yesterday I worked out, and yesterday morning I couldn't resist - I got on the scale and I'm down 3lbs since Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Atop that amazing victory, I got back on this morning, just to assess the damage - and I didn't gain a pound as a result of all my Thanksgiving indulgences.
I hate to come off boastful. I know that there are some of you reading this that are in this same fight with me. I blog to let you know that it's POSSIBLE! Yes, I'm only down a few pounds, but it's so much more than that. I'm proving to myself who's boss. I am NOT a slave to food, or to my lack of discipline, and that brings me more pleasure than any number on a scale. Take heart, readers! Love you all.
Xoxoxoxo,
