I started off good today: scrambled egg whites, 2 slices turkey bacon, whole wheat bagel. Yes! My snack 3 hours later: 2 egg whites, an apple slice, and popcorn. Eh, not bad, but probably didn't need that popcorn. Then we went to a baby shower. With food. Duhn duhn duhn. This was my test. There were hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken wings, pasta salad, chips and dip, banana nut bread, and cupcakes! So I tried to stay strong as I made it through the food line: Got a hamburger (no bun, no cheese. only mustard, lettuce and ketchup), one chicken wing (baked, not fried, in bbq sauce), and about a 1/4 cup of pasta salad. So not so bad bc I tried to steer away from the bread and sugar, BUT I did eat the pasta salad which is a carb and more than likely that dressing on it wasn't light! Plus I probably should've done away with the ketchup and bbq sauce, has sugar. Then it was cupcake time.... yummy, sweet, sugary, moist cupcake time. The cupcakes were being passed around and my eyes watched as each person took theirs. My mind was telling me "It won't ruin your diet! You can do it this one time!" My mouth was watering and I kept imagining how good that sugar must taste. But I held strong and knew that that cupcake didn't taste as good as victory would when I'm ripped! WINNING! That little small victory of avoiding the wrong foods for me set me up to continue my success tonight for the rest of my meals. I think if I would've ate the cupcake I would've just chalked the rest of the day off as a cheat day and made my previous effort this morning null and void. But bc I felt good about my little victory, I came home ate steamed veggies in olive oil and eggs and two more hardboiled eggs for a snack.
Even though I did veer away from what I probably would've eaten if I hadn't been in a social situation, it was definitely a learning experience! I just have to maintain my motivation and stick to my guns and VICTORY SHALL BE MINE!
