Weigh In ~ down 2.4

So though I am very excited about another 2.4 loss I am even more excited about my non-scale victory (NSV) I had yesterday.  


As you may very well know yesterday was the super bowl.  We go over to my parents and hang out all afternoon and though we can't always count on an great game there is one thing we can count on... food, and lots of it.  We got there around three and the food kept rollin in, chips, ribs, pizza, dips, and much more.  That was all tempting but I knew I could have one plate and be done but the real temptation came in the form of a creamy dreamy to die for peanut butter pie.  Oh. my. word.   Just one look and my saliva glands went into overdrive and I started having crazy eyes as we call it.  It's that feeling that comes over you when you want to eat something so bad you don't thing rationally you just eat. But I didn't, I knew the commitment that I had made to no sugar and soda and just said no.  Overall it has not been overly difficult but being in an environment that in the past I have almost always overate and binged it was a major trigger for me.  But the feeling of walking away, not going home sick was amazing.  I actually went home early (sick kids) and exercised, wow what a great victory!


Overall last week was much harder than the first week of no sugar but I feel so much better overall.  I don't feel the urge to overeat as much and fruit tastes amazing!  Now if I could just get my kids over this lingering flu I can catch up on my sleep and start having more energy.  Here is to a week full of NSV!
