Made it thru 2 parties!!!

I am sooo grateful I made it through 2 parties today without even being really tempted...The 1st one was a luncheon & a *****allenging, I had some eggsalad and fresh veggies with the tinyest amount of dip...They placed the platter of deserts right on the table in front of me...it was I feel like a sabotage maneuver but I didn't BITE...The second a dinner party, with 2 hours of munchies and drinks (I didn't indulge myself at all) then the meal, I ate some chicken, cooked carrots & a fork full of homemade baked mixed beans...I didn't stay for dessert...I didn't feel deprived and I feel I made excellent choices however I went into today with some fear, especially since I didn't know the menus.  I told myself today that if there wasn't food I would choose to eat, that would be okay...I'd wait till I got home...there were lots of choices and I chose the healthy path and enjoyed myself and feel good about myself. Excuse my rambling but needed to share. (posted on WLS board last night). Hugs...jenna

Hi Jenna - No need to be sorry for sharing your non-scale victories (NSV)!!!  Everyone here can absolutely relate to going to food-laden parties and not being able to eat with wild abandon.  It always feels good when we’ve exercised self-control and not had a pity party for ourselves after the fact – Good for you on three accounts – 1 for not pigging out and 2 for feeling good about not pigging out and 3 for making the best choices you could had made!

Thanks, Tammy for acknowledging my NSV... Hugs...jenna
