Mind over batter (hehe, thanks Jenna)....

I thought I did ok yesterday given my circumstances!  I worked with a floater yesterday who was hungry and ordered pizza!  Eeks!  I only ate 2 small slices but OMG they were so freaking gooodddddddd.  haha, I controlled myself so that's all that matters.  Then we did outback for dinner with the family.  I didn't eat any of that amazing looking blooming onion they brought to the table, just continued drinking my diet coke.  I only had 1 small slice of the delicious bread they bring too, no butter.  I order chicken on the barbie(light style), but instead of the veggies I ordered the garlic mashed potatoes.  The waiter looks at me and says, you realize those don't make it very 'light style'.  Ugh, whatever.  I took my time eating the chicken, which was really really tender and good, and talked and laughed in between eating.  I only ate half of the chicken and half of the potatoes.  Suck on that waiter guy.  :)

We had date night last night and we went to the movies.  Oh lord I eyeballed that popcorn and those sour patch kids.....Kyle only got a very soft gooey chocolate chip cookie too.  I didn't touch anything except a coke zero!  Then...I gave in.  To 2 steak and shake chocolate chip cookies(which have 11 total points).  They way I see it, after all those trials and tempations everywhere today, my 2 11 point chocolate cookies were the best thing that ever happened to me.  

I was reading the WW message boards today and came across this:

If you're "Interested" in losing weight...
... You stick with it only until something better comes along (such as doughnuts)
... How you feel determines your outcome. If you don't 'feel like it', you stop your efforts.
... You need to see results. When the scale doesn't move, you lose your motivation.
... You blame everything else (people, travel, circumstances) for your struggles with staying on program.
... Whenever you face challenges in life, you give up and plan you'll start your program again tomorrow.

~~HOWEVER:

If you're "Committed" to losing weight...
... Nothing stops your efforts. You stick with your program, "no matter what."
... Emotions don't control your actions. You stay on track even when you don't feel like it.
... Your motivation isn't linked to the scale. You assume that if you stay motivated and work hard, you'll eventually see results.
... You don't depend on other people for your success. You know it's up to you, not them.
... A bad day or a lot of challenges don't affect your efforts. You keep going in spite of it.

** So which one are you? "Interested or Committed"??

I think I may be a mixture of both haha.  Although I really do believe in the program and know it's the best thing that has happened to me ever!  I'm losing weight AND I got my first 'are you losing weight' question today!!  That's when you know you have to keep on pushing and doing what you're doing.  I'm going to go jump in the shower and take a quick store run real quick!  :)
