So, this weekend was really good. I have implemented my little rules and they seem to be working rather well so far. I went to a birthday/rapture party on Saturday night and boy was I nervous!! There was CAKE!! Not just normal cake.....no, triple chocolate cake...with white chocolate shavings all over it! It looked heavenly.....but I didn't eat any! (even though I was pressured...I stood my ground) :) hehehe.... I did eat in front of the TV....but it wasn't my house and all the adults were in the living room and the kids took over the dining room table so I forgive myself for that one! I have been much more active and find myself doing odd little exercises at random times throughout the day....hey..an extra 5-10 calories here and there will add up!
One really big milestone for me is my attitude in general. I feel more confident even though I still have a long way to go. I went shopping on Saturday afternoon because my amazing husband gave me a few hours to myself....I tried on several dresses and tops, etc and even though I didn't like the way a lot of them looked on me, I wasn't bashing myself in my head like I normally do and I didn't leave wanting to eat a whole carton of ice cream...which is odd for me! I just felt God's presence with me telling me I was beautiful to Him...makes a big difference in my mind. I took that as a huge victory.
I still need to work on my "I feel bored, let's eat" mentality I have every now and then. I haven't focused much on what I am eating yet...I know that will come soon. I am really trying to eat until I feel full and stop. Not watching TV or working on my computer really helps me know when to stop....it is a hard habit to break but each choice I make is one more victory or compromise....I am shooting for many more victories!!
