What did you say NO to?

Today at work they had a ton of food!! Chips, cheese sauce, taco meat ( not the good n lean kind), cake, strawberry angel food cake, and who knows what else is on that stinking table! But i said NO to it all I haven't even walked past it! I had my home made chicken noodle soup for lunch and dinner and was completely content. I am a little proud of my self for avoiding all those things!

So i figured im not the only one who is proud of them selves for avoiding and saying no to the foods that we need to limit. If you ' resist this time don't worry there is always tomorrow!!!

Good job. =]

I just spent 20 minutes staring at a plate of warm, gooey chocolate chip cookies my mom had made. But I said no. =]

There's no way I'm breaking my diet for any food, no matter how much I want it.

Still those same ol' Mountain Dews in the fridge that I love and adore, but I opted for an ice cream bar as my treat this week.

I proudly said no to all hamburgers and hotdogs during the labor day barbeque. There were no lettuce/tomato/onion for burgers, so I just said no. And not to even mention that I didn't want to eat them even if there were lettuce and tomatoes!! Instead, I stuck with my grilled cauliflower (which everybody loved!), peaches, salad and pasta.

Today I said no to all the cookies and chips in the break room and chose to have light popcorn instead... it was soooooooooo hard.  I try to ask myself this question every time I am tempted:  "Would I rather eat this now, or be able to fit into my skinny jeans once again?"   It's hard to be patient

omg what didn't I avoid today? my mom went grocery shopping and got a ton of chocolate covered granola bars, fruit snacks, rice crispy squares. theres macaroni tuna salad in the fridge. my boyfriend wanted to take me out for dinner and I had to decline becoz I did not plan for that in my intake for today... went out for coffee and had to opt for a diet coke!

Its hard to say no but at the end of the day it makes you feel good that you did instead of i guess i really shouldnt of had that.  Good Job to everyone who said no, and to those who had their treat today good for you! if you know you earned then go for it!

everyone have a great day!!

Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.  Heard this a long time ago and it still rings true.

I said no to two (unhealthy) free meals (complete with cake) today. Instead I had salad for lunch and sole in curried yogurt sauce with brown rice and brocolli for dinner. I'm sure I was much happier with my food than I would have been with the free stuff.

I've become crazy good at turning down unhealthy food. I never thought I had this kind of willpower- it's amazing what a bit of motivation can do for you! Most of the time I don't even want junk anymore. I crave things like steamed brocolli & carrots and fresh corn on the cob. Mmm... I love fresh produce! It's better than 99% of the cakes out there (exceptionally good cheesecake must be excepted from this).

ive turned down my beloved sodas teh past few days and will for the rest of the week. i also passed up getting a yummy mcflurry! it sounded so good but i pushed that idea out of my head fast!

i turned down cookies, cakes and muffins yesterday. I find that if i  can't see them then i don't worry about eating them, out of sight out of mind.

Congrats on your self-control!

I've discovered a way to twart the evil plots of my co-workers. Every birthday, someone gets cake. If I simply refuse a piece, they pull the whole "just eat one piece, it won't hurt anything" routine. Now I take a VERY small piece (since they want me to hve it so badly anyway), mush it around on my plate, and throw the whole thing away. It's oddly therapeutic to destroy something I wouldn't mind having.

Also, when we have food days at work, we usually have at least one veggie tray and a fruit bowl. Everyone else can have the fried chicken and gooey mexican food.

I have not only had to say no to several things, but work with the things i have t say no to. I had to pack stil-warm bagels on saturday which smelled georgous and made my mouth water (i hadnt eaten in nearly 5 hours by that point and it would have been so easy) and on monday i had to pack still-warm cookies of every kind which covered me in chocolate and seeing as there were left overs i rung them up and brought them home... and gave them to my mum. Resisting stuff is so hard.

And the cake my mum made on sunday is staring at me!

But no, i shall prevail... i hope :s

Ps - If you hadn't guessed i work in a bakery - eek

that was my first job i spent nearly 2 years in the bakery! it was so hard at first not to eat all that stuff but i have to say that the more i worked with it and smelled it and having to clean it and everything inbetween i didnt crave it as much! and still to now a over a year later at a desk i still dont crave the gooey sweet cookies and the frozen iceing as much as i did when i started!at first one good thing that helped me not eat it is i thought of it in a customers point of view i would not like to see some one eating on the job behind the counter then come help me. But dont forget to let your self have a little something now and then just control how much and how often! Good luck! and its great to see how many other people have found the same will-power to just say NO!! Have a great day!

We had pizza at the faculty meeting.  Long meeting but I did n't eat any.  I was quite proud!!!!!

Last night I made my children cheeseburgers, but I resisted and opted for my morningstar farms griller instead with lowfat cheese and mustard, lettuce and tomato.

Did not miss the "real" cheeseburger at all!  Oh!  And not to mention the chocolate cookies on the counter.  :-)

I just said no to a Mcdonald's pig out session which I was planning to have by myself. I was planning to have a Big Mac, Supersize fries, diet coke, apple pie, and large chocolate shake.

Then I got myself a little more under control and said that I was going to have a regular burger, medium fries, diet coke, and the apple pie.

Now I've settled on red and green bell peppers, hake, and broccoli instead.  I feel like I had a close shave with insanity. 

My boyfriend told me for lunch yesterday he had 2 big macs 2 cheese burger 3 large fries and an apple pie (how does he stay skinny!?!?!) . Ever since then i've been craving a big mac, I reallly REALLY want one, i keep thinking about it. and theres a Mc Donalds just outside my work, i have to walk past it to get to the supermarket, grrrr

If i get to my goal weight for the month, i might let myself have one.

Well Done!

What IS it with sugary food and the workplace? I managed to walk past the trays of toffee cookies and muffins in the teacher's lounge and say NO. I also managed to say no to free chips at lunch hour.

Yay for all of us strong ladies!

We have a buffet of desserts just sitting for us all day at each meal but breakfast. It's free and you can have as much as you want. Ice cream, pie, cake, cookies, etc. I said no today and I've decided not to even walk past it for the next 6 months while I am here. It was hard I love sweets. I also had to restrain myself at the chinese food restaurant. I just had vegtable chop suey.
