I Walked Away

[pandabear 39]

Was at a dunkin donuts and couldn't make a good decision so I walked away! Most people wouldn't understand why I would be happy about this since I was in line for five minutes but I thought you guys might!

I can TOTALLY relate. I have been able to do this only a few times but it is an AMAZING feeling! Good for you!

Were you on line for coffee? Those donuts are filled with sugar, calories and carbs. NO Protein in those things.

Dont forget how much fat is in them too, even a bite would set u back around 50 calories at least u did good !

You go girl!! Good for you.

Fat is a dirty word.....hugs

For me the only reason to go to D & D (It's worth the trip. Ohh showing my age!) is to get a black coffee or a egg white sandwich. Everything else is just not for me anymore. Check out their nut. section on their website; even the low fat muffins are super high in fat.

DOn't be so disaproving, this is a great NSV!!! She probably couldn't/wouldn't have done this before! Hurray for you!!!Karen

YES YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT NSV. THANKS FOR REMINDING ME. I HAVE BEEN SO STRICT AND SEE THE RESULTS I HAD. ONLY WANTING THE BEST FOR EVERY ONE.

THANKS AGAIN...HUGS. I KNOW SHE IS ON THE RIGHT TRACK... I HAVE A FRIEND WHO I HOOKED UP FROM FACE BOOK. SHE WAS A HS FRIEND IN 1965. WE AGREED TO LOSE WITH TOGETHER 2 YEARS AND 4 MONTHS AGO. SHE WAS A FORMALLY OBESE GAL WHO HAD GASTRIC BY PASS AND LOST 140 LBS THEN SHE GOT WEAK. AND GAINED 60. OUR AGREEMENT WORKED FOR ME BUT SHE GAINED ANOTHER 20. THIS WHOLE THING FRUSTRATED THE CRAP OUT OF ME. THIS IS A NEVER ENDING PILE OF CRAP. SHE IS ALWAYS ON AND THEN OFF. I WANT TO THROW UP AND I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT GETTING STUCK. I WANT SO MUCH FOR EVERY ONE .

We all have or WOW moments and you my friend had a WOW moment. Good for you.

Its funny when we go out. My wife always orders the highest calorie item on the menu. (she's like 125 an 5'5"). Me, I order the lowest calorie item or even just a cup of Soup. They always want to set her plate in front of me. I usually laugh and tell them, that's the ladies plate. The looks I get is priceless.

i get one small Decaf coffee on my way to work at d and d the best coffee anywhere as far as i am concerned

[meyouus 415]

Pandabear, we are all so proud of you! I'm glad you came on here with your great news! Be proud and don't be afraid to repeat your performance!

I go to DD for their awesome coffee. They've had a commercial for a certain food item that I shall not mention, that I am dying to try, but am so far successful in my drive to stay away. You stayed away after waiting for five minutes, then so can I! Thanks!

This Lapband Tool works if you work it. Low carbs~~HIgh Protein~ Low Fat. No bread, no potatoes, no rice, no donuts, no cake, no candy no soda, no high carbs= weight loss, smaller body and a happier and healthier life. This is not a partime situation. It is a lifetime thing. Today I had a cookie. It was one from out Europe trip. JUST ONE....BEFORE~ I WOULD HAVE HAD 10 AND WANTED MORE.

I STILL AM NOT PERFECT....I NEVER WILL BE. BUT I WORKED FOR WHAT I HAVE AND I AM HAPPIER. If i wanted bread or any off the above mentioned things (which I don't) I could have them **just a tiny bit*** hugs.

Love DD coffee and treat myself several times a week. I use Stevia since I like it sweetened. I also put in flavoring as a treat. I use the drive thru since I don't have to even look at the donuts. Keep up the good work and we CAN do it!!

I am pretty good about staying away from places that make me weak unless I have to be there. I work at Wegmans ( imagine trader joes, or whole foods ) so I am around smells of food (hell I run a kitchen) so almost every single day is a mental game. I usually tap my nose like a bad dog and wander away muttering at myself. It is almost sad that when I am at work around food every minute I barely eat, but get me on a day off and I make bad decisions, like I can rationalize that I had a super stressful week, I deserve that donut for not freaking out. Or get togethers with friends, out comes the bottle of rum (though this doesn't happen often). Food and alcohol is such a big part of my life (literally taking up most of my waking life) that I start to freak out about wanting the band and losing the only way I know how to have a good time and Celebrate.< /p>
