Whew - I beat down the donuts!!

Okay, the weekends are my biggest challenge! So far, on Phase 1, and after weighing in on day #9 (yesterday) I was down 5lbs - yay! I was hoping that the weightloss on the scale would empower me to keep strong, and i guess it did!

This morning we went to my parents for a late morning visit. And what did they have waiting for the family as a treat? A big plate of assorted donuts, cream filled, you name it. Now, there I sat, with this big plate screaming at me....take me, take me....I couldn't handle it. So, I left the patio, went back into the house, got a couple pieces of cheese and scrounged up some sugar substitute (for my tea) and sat down to join the rest of the gang. Unfortunately it was a fuller fat cheese, (aged cheddar) but it stopped me from diving into the donuts! Thank goodness!!

Honestly, I didn't if know I was going to throw in the towel right then and there. I am so happy that I had the strength and conviction to get up and walk away from the donut filled table!! I kept in the back of my mind the great feeling of seeing the numbers on the scale go down, and I think that helped me also. Anyway, just wanted to share my showdown with the donuts...to anyone else it would seem a trife, but I know that to us South Beachers - it's a triumph! ha!

Yay! Yay! That's a HUGE triumph! And everytime you resist temptations like that it builds up your determination to follow through even more the next time! You can do it!
