Yea for  me !!!!! ♥¥☆★☆★☆¥♥ ★

Yesterday, the hospital provided "James Coney Island" for lunch...for everybody.  Now, I don't even particularly crave James Coney Island hot dogs.  But I did yesterday.  For some reason, eating a big ole hot dog on a big ole bun slathered in cheese and chili sounded really good. 

But I passed up James Coney Island hot dogs and ate my Healthy Choice spinach ravioli and Dole canned citrus salad instead.  And was anyone there to say "Way to go Diana!!  Good job on that healthy eating!!"  No.  I did get several "You know, there's hot dogs in the dining room" comments though.


I  think that successful weight loss is less about setting huge goals and making sweeping decisions and more about  day to day, meal to meal , and minute to minute victories.  It's about choosing a protein bar over cold chili for breakfast.  It's about staying out of the donuts and dealing with hunger just one more hour until it's time for my healthy midmorning snack.  It's about passing up James Coney Island hot dogs for lunch and eating a good lunch instead.

Success breeds success.  So when we have our little victories, I say let's congratulate ourselves.  Let's say "Way to go, girl!"  Do a little happy dance. Contact me to join our FB group "Steps to Better Health" and we'll celebrate with you !
