I went to a fair tonight, and while I didn't have very high expectations, I did thing possibly, somewhere, around some corner, I would find something I would want to eat that wasn't unbelievably crazy caloric. I was mistaken.
Around every corner was fried dough, or London broil sandwiches, or sausage and peppers, or pizza, or slushies, or ice cream, or candy apples. All delicious things that once upon a time, I probably would have tasted some of all of them and not had to worry about packing on some extra pounds.
But now, I can't eat all, or one of those things, because if I do, I am throwing away a week full of being good and making a conscious commitment to stick to my weight loss efforts. So, I was good and didn't eat a thing at the fair (and after a few rides, I couldn't eat a thing anyway if I wanted to).
With all the temptations around me, it was hard to resist, but I just kept telling myself that eating that funnel cake would not feel half as good as being able to close out the week knowing that I gave my best effort to lose weight.
What do YOU do when temptation stares you in the eye to stick to your goals?
