Making better choices

Hey everyone, Well after my very lax weekend, I'm back on track.  Man have I been tested, but I'm happy to report that I'm succeeding.  On Monday I have my Lean Cuisine dinner at my sister's house after being very good all day.  Well for desert she had Krispy Kreme filled donuts.  Oh good grief, I didn't need to be tested so soon.  I opted for my Weigh****chers desert and felt very satisfied.  Of course, after eating burgers and cake this last weekend I was back to craving carbs.  I didn't falter and just drank my water.  Now yesterday after again eating very healthy all day, I knew I couldn't face yet another TV dinner.  I stay with my sister on Mondays and Tuesdays and unfortunately cooking in her kitchen is just not possible.  I also got to babysit my 10-year-old nephew so decided to pick up Wendy's.  Ok I know what you're thinking...how did she do?  Well after ordering a burger meal with fries and a drink for my sister and nephew, I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich only with a bowl of chili for myself.  I didn't even get a soft drink.  I had to smell those darn fries all the way to my sister's house...absolute torture.  Did I sneak even one fry???  Nope.  I ate my chicken sandwich and chili happily knowing this was better for me.  My sister still had KK donuts in the house, but I didn't even go there and had another WW desert. All in all I have to say I'm very proud of myself.  I know I will have days where I might falter, but I know I can dust myself off and not let it completely derail me.  Before May, I would have just chucked in the towel.  Life is good.

Girl, good for you.  I don't know if I could have been so strong going to Wendy's...  And good for you for saying "no" to the krispy kreme.  I don't think I could have done that either.  You're rollin' strong.  Keep it up!

If it would have been this last weekend I wouldn't have been able to be so good.  I guess it's because I haven't lost much in 6 weeks that I'm looking at tightening things back up and really looking at the choices I'm making.  One day at a time as they say.
