What didn't you eat today?

[Pascall]

I Thought I'd start a thread for those who know the theory of healthy eating and, like me, probably do eat 3 healthy well-balanced meals each day, but who also manage to eat a ton of crap in between.

I don't need diet advice, I need willpower. I thought it might be motivating to record what I'd resisted. I have 1 stone 11lbs to lose.

So today I said no to deep fried chicken, second portions and a flake. I also didn't take my purse out when I dropped dd's friend home, so I didn't nip to the shop for a treat.

Anyone else want to join in?

I spent ages reading the sugar content of chocolate bars in Tesco. I wanted to choose the lowest sugar one.

Instead, I put them back and walked away and didn't buy any.

I also didn't eat the birthday cakes slices from two kids' party bags.

And I'm on my period.

Yes I will be accepting medals, thank you

Hi all!

Just back from seeing my Mum tonight and a managed not to eat any cake there at all, not a crumb - which is pretty good going as her house is practically made of cake!

I’m on day 24 now I think and have lost 12lb - am really hoping I can make it a stone by this time next week!

I’m having my first severe hankering though as it’s a Saturday night with a movie to watch shortly - traditIonal dairy milk munching territory! I don’t have any thank goodness!

I’m another that doesn’t like to exercise, but it’s going to have to get introduced at some point soon.

Have a fab weekend all

I didn't eat a couple of bags of crisps I bought... but only because the friend I was visiting produced a massive red velvet cake.

[Eesha]

I didn’t order a deliveroo despite pouring over the menus for at least an hour. I ended up making oven baked fish and chips which, believe it or not Was the healthier option

[holycityzoo]

I love this thread!
Please can I join in?
Today I've not eaten fries with my steak I made salad instead and watched dp eat the fries. I've also not eaten the cornetto dp bought me or the Haribo my youngest tried to push in my mouth share with me.

Writing this now instead of walking to the kitchen to eat a (potentially box of...)

Tunnock's tea cakes.

It's like the buggers are calling to me.

[Xiaoxiong]

I didn't buy a chocolate croissant when I got a coffee for the train this morning.

I didn't eat the chips with my fish burger at lunch.

I didn't eat ice cream at the interval of the matinee I went to.

I didn't have cake afterwards and I didn't take the tube to the station but got a santander bike instead.

I didn't have another drink in the garden this evening when I got home, just water.

Actually a lot of willpower exercised today!! Quite proud seeing it all written down!!

I need to get on this thread ! Just stolen a chocolate sheep from 21 year old DD room !! .. back on the straight and narrow tomorrow!

[holycityzoo]

Today I didn't eat any of the chocolate in the pantry, or any ice cream that was in the freezer.
I didn't get anything from the takeaway when dp ordered stuff.
I made myself chicken wrapped in bacon medallions with a salad with roasted peppers, spinach,new potatoes, capers and olives. I made a healthy dressing with balsamic and lazy chilli.
It was bloody lovely.
Oh and I didn't have any of the prosecco he opened either.

[GreatWesternValkyrie]

Sadly I gave in to eating two cough candies todays, huge carbs and sugar in those little things ...... but on the plus side, there are about 25 still in the packet that I didn’t eat

[m0therofdragons]

I've spent the last 2 days not eating cookies that I walk past constantly at work. Very proud of myself!

[Pascall]

I have not eaten the Mars Bar that has been in my bag for...…… wait for it...……. 12 days!!

[GreatWesternValkyrie]

That mars bar will be all melted and squidgy after all that time Pascall - I’d struggle not to eat it, I love them like that!!

I went out for lunch a few days ago at a carvery and didn’t go back for more of anything, despite the huge temptation of really good roast potatoes and delicious gravy!

It’s now 5 weeks since I was diagnosed with diabetes and I’ve lost 16.5lbs - I have the odd day that’s a bit of a struggle to ignore all the goodies out there, 10 calorie jellies are my best friend these days!

Have a fab weekend all!

[Pascall]

Valkyrie that's brilliant! keep up the good work.

I did eat the marsbar in the end and then replaced with a naice bar of chocolate with lasted till yesterday.

Otherwise, I haven't really been doing too well, but now back on it with a vengeance and have been refusing all the nice things, snacks, seconds and treats for the last 3 days. No further weight loss, but no further gain either.

today I have said no to toast, lunch at work (had healthier one at home), seconds and biscuits. Also made it round the shops twice without getting myself anything.

How's everyone else doing? Want to hop back on?

[GreatWesternValkyrie]

It’s been a while since I posted on this thread but I reached a milestone at the weekend so thought I’d share my continued “I didn’t eat...” progress!

I’ve lost 2 stone!! A number of my diabetes symptoms have lessened or gone completely too! As an absolutely hopeless dieter, I’m really surprised at myself although I know it was the shock of the diabetes diagnosis that gave me the incentive and a good food tracking app that’s kept me honest. Still a way to go but I definitely feel healthier.

So, what have I not eaten? No sugar in my coffee since I started, no cakes, no mars bars - but I have found some great low calorie, lowing fast/carb peanut & chocolate bars to satiate the need for a treat now and then!

Hope you’re all getting on well

*lowing fast = lowish fat. Duh!
