Crazy week

I can't even believe it's already Saturday. This week flew by and you know what? I did EXCELLENT on my eating. So good that last night when I ate some yummy but oh so bad for you hot wings, it made me sick. I hadn't had that much sodium or anything fried in a while. I love getting to that point in my eating because that means I crave things less and I do a lot better.

This week I was offered birthday cake, ice cream, chips, dr. pepper, m&m's, cupcakes, many many baked goodies, chocolate covered strawberries, and delicious bread. Plus I went out to chilis.

I ate from the lighter menu at Chilis for under 600 calories. I chose the dr pepper 10, had the smallest piece of birthday cake at my dads and brothers birthday and the rest I turned down! Yes, even the chocolate covered strawberry. I know, I am crazy.

I believe all things in moderation. It is OK to eat treats I just don't think you need something sweet everyday. I look back at how much I have changed over the past few weeks and how much better I feel about myself.

I am in control of me. Not my cravings. I can say no and sometimes say yes. It is a liberating feeling! Plus, I feel like I am sleeping better, I have more energy and I am not dragging. We are what we eat :)

One of the biggest things I am teaching myself this week that ONE bad meal won't make you bigger just like ONE good meal won't make you smaller. It's all about hard work and changing your lifestyle. No diets around here. I feel confident in me and you know what? I tried on a pair of 10's at Old Navy yesterday and I could of gone smaller. Now that is a wonderful feeling. Going from a 14/16 to a loose 10 is motivation for me to keep working hard.

It's the truth! Put down the cookie, pick up your fruits and veggies and see the changes happen. I sure am!
