But no one knows how hard it was to turn down that second helping of mashed potatoes, or to not have the handful of M&Ms or how you had no energy left but you went for a walk anyway. Celebrate your daily accomplishments here! Nothing is too small to count - the goal is to be positive, even if it's "I didnt eat the cherry on the super-sized banana split!"

Here it goes: I squeezed in an Arm Toning Pilates last night even though I was in the middle of watching a TV show. Also when I got hungry late last night I ate a cup of frozen blueberries instead of getting into junky food.

I am proud of myself for having half a sandwich and giving the other half to my friend, instead of eating the whole thing all by myself. Win-win situation: 1/2 the calories, and happy friend That was the first day in a very long time that I didn't take a packed lunch with me, and bought lunch from a nearby cafe.

I am proud of myself today for choosing a trail mix granola bar, which i had to buy, over a free coffee crisp bar. I was feeling (ok, am feeling) exhausted and needed an energy boost, the bar was right there in my locker (free gift for buying some lab supplies) and i was going to eat it but i just didn't want to..nice to know my willpower is still functional

Finally using my reusable coffee mug!!
