anyway, I think you did, and are doing, great!!

Nina....you are so absolutely right, and this was something I needed to remind myself of as well. I cheer and support everyone else's small victories towards better health...Scoote eating yogurt and drinking water, the Prince developing a liking for broccoli...I recognize that those little changes are big victories when expanded over a lifetime.

And...you're right...for me to be able to look at the cookies and say no was big...really big. Thank you for reminding me of that.

Gemme...I love the "food showdown" phrase...because that is soooo much what it is at that moment. I can picture me and the cookies...faced off across the OK Corral!

And, once again, grateful for fitday.com ... I had been avoiding it because I didn't want to know how bad I'd been. So, this morning, I thought...new day, don't go enter all that stuff (which I probably couldn't even remember)...just go to today, enter my weight, enter what I'm having for breakfast and begin again.

I did....and, because I can't help it...clicked over to the weight goal stats...and saw that my "actual weight" line did spike up a bit, but it was still underneath my "goal weight" line. I may have fallen off the wagon for a couple days, but I'm still on track. So nice to have that reminder staring me in the face.

So...breakfast...black coffee, high fiber oatmeal and a banana.

Hope you're all doing well!
