I need your help for my challenge

Today I challenge myself to stay on my plan. No extra carbs, food excess, or giving up after a slip(if there should be one). Will you check in with me during the day by responding to this post? I know that my friends on this forum will support me! Thanks in advance.

p.s. the size 8 dress that I bought a month ago(and never took the tags off)fits just fine and it makes me happy today!

Why don't you post your planned menu here and throughout the day update it.  We can see how you're doing and if you slip up we'll know how - and can give you support? 

Congrats on the size 8 dress!  I just took 2 dresses back to Macy's yesterday - only because I bought 4 for my son's wedding KNOWING I would return some.  One was a beautiful cobalt blue that fit awesome - but I just didn't need it.  I've got SO many dresses (I prefer dresses to dress pants) but don't even go into an office anymore...

Thanks Jody! I prefer dresses too and wear them everyday to my job as a middle school music teacher. I like your menu posting idea.

Wow....a size 8 dress??  Are you being too hard on yourself?  Those slips where we eat a little of this or a little of that, a cookie, then 2 cookies.....can become a bad habit. 

You can do this.  Stick to your plan.  Hope you have it written down.

Happy to check in with you Ellen!  I hope you're day is going particularly well and after a weekend of excess (not like before surgery but enough to make me feel guilty) I am determined to stay on plan as well.  So happy for you about your size 8 dress!  I love it when something I couldn't fit before all of a sudden fits!  Congratulations!  Have a great "on plan" day! :)

My food so far today-

B-Premier Protein RTD mixed with 25 c. diet hot chocolate

B2-Dannon Light and Fit and 3 oz. tuna with Tbl. mayo

Good Luck with your challenge today and always!  You can do it!

I also have a dannon Light and fit greek yogurt for lunch today.  Im a little scared of it because it looks too good, so it can't be right?  Its called Raspberry Chocolate.  How can something called that be 12 g Protein & 80 calories (the negative is its 8 Carbs) but I usually have less than 20 my entire day so I figured id splurge.  Well see if it lives up to the hype...

Sounds Good!!  

Size 8 is great, but not when you were previously a 6!

L-3 ounces meatloaf and green beans

S-carrots and laughing cow light Swiss wedges

I walked 35 minutes on the treadmill after work. Wow, that felt good.

D-3 oz. chicken and 1/2 c. salad w/ranch dressing, 1 slice of apple

S-3 Tbl. popcorn

Now if I can get myself to bed w/o getting into any bad carbs and stay in bed all night I will have succeeded with your help. Thanks friends!
