Okay...my big victory for today which shows the lifestyle change in place is the fact that my family is currently eating McDonalds and I am not!! This is very exciting. This has happened before but not often. Usually it's what throws me off track or brings me down but not today! I even had to go pick it up for everyone...in the drive-thru I was debating whether or not to get something small...a single burger (250 calories)...a snack wrap (not sure how many cals)...yogurt...SOMETHING...but I realized that there was really nothing that I wanted today so I passed. And the best part is that I passed happily...I don't feel at all deprived...and let's all be honest...those fries never tasted the same after they eliminated the trans fat from their fry oil. :)
Tonight's challenge: going to a friend's house for a BBQ. I just have to remind myself that I'm there for the friends, not the food. Oh, and I'm supposed to bring a dessert...I guess that's good because that means I get to control how healthy the dessert is, right?
UPDATE: So I just got home from my friends' house and made myself enter the food to the best of my ability. It turns out that it wasn't as easy to eat well as I thought it could/should be just because of what was being served BUT even though I went over my RDI, I did SOOO much better than I would have done on any other occasion in the past. In the past, I would have said, "Who cares? It's just one day...eat what you want." Today, I said, "The food isn't ideal, but it looks good...eat some, stop when you're full, and move on." That's what I did...and I'm sure I seriously ate 1/2 of what I would have eaten in the past so I'm happy. And I did truly enjoy what I was eating but didn't make myself leave with that I-ate-so-much-I'm-in-pain feeling. Also, on an "old me" day, I would have had the McDonald's AND over-indulged at the friends' house. Not the new me...and not today. :)
