Victory today

All day I had been craving a McDonald's soft ice cream.  I looked up the nutritional count, tried working it into my meal plan, had yogurt, ate a lot of fruit and chewed gum trying to take my mind off that stupid ice cream.  I don't know why I was so possessed by the thoughts of the soft ice cream.  The good part is I did not fall to temptation!! I was out with my husband and he suggested dinner out, fish and chips and although I was starving, I declined.  We compromised and he got take out and I came home and had a frozen WW dinner. I had just come back from the dressmaker who was designing my dress for my son's wedding in 8 weeks.  I am determind to lose another 10lbs before this wedding and today's victory over ice cream and fish and chips helped to strengthen my determination.  I am learning to be strong.  I recognize that not all wars will be won, however today I did win, so I am happy!
