I ran around like a crazy chicken with my head cut off today. Happens every Wednesday. I do it like clock work. I had to feed the kids out today, no way around it. We invited some friends to Mickey D's after story time. I wondered to myself if this was going to be a challenge to eat clean. To stick with the commitment to eat clean and avoid high calorie crap food, especially in a place that used to melt my little diets in half! I felt like a million bucks as I got to that order line, ordered one kids meal to share for the kids. (I know I shouldn't be feeding them that either, but that's a story for another day) One salad for me, all the veggies, grilled chicken, light dressing. It tastted good. It fit in with my protein, veggie, and fat meal. And I wasn't even the tiniest bit tempted to steal a nugget or a fry (like I would have in my weight watcher days, there are only 1 pt in a nugget.. how bad can it be?!). Because I have changed the way I think, the way I say things in my head, and aloud... they have gotten so much easier. I didn't tell myself I couldn't have McDonalds, I told myself I just don't eat that kind of food. It's a choice. A matter of preferance. I choose to have my pants fall off my bum, I like my pants loose more than I like to eat chicken nuggets and french fries. And that made me feel really strong, like I had something to celebrate today. What do you have to celebrate today? Celebrate everything good, big or small!! Let's hear it!
