Major NSV for me last night.
I had a major NSV (Non Scale Victory for anyone not on Weight Watchers) yesterday. We went to the in-laws for dinner, and I really struggle with not overeating there. I feel a little disconnected, it’s really loud, and there’s always way more food than necessary, and often it’s not terribly healthy food (pizza is a favorite). Last night, MIL made pot roast and vegetables, though. I had set a goal of only filling my plate once when I’m there, and no sweets at all. Last night was the first time that I stuck to my goals, thanks in part to the Beck Diet Solution. I put a memo on my blackberry with my advantages of losing weight, and I read it a couple times during the evening. I filled my plate mostly with broccoli, but also with two red potatoes, 1/4 cup of corn, about 1/2 cup of carrots, and 6 oz of roast beef. I ate it slowly and enjoyed it, and just kept reminding myself that I didn’t need seconds. I also avoided the candy and brownies, and resisted them all evening. Going over there can be really stressful for me, because quite often, once I start eating certain foods like pizza, I’m powerless and can’t stop until I feel uncomfortable, and sometimes not even then. Instead, I felt satisfied, didn’t regret what I ate, and felt better physically after coming home.
