"No" is a complete sentence.

No. No. No! Did you know that "No" IS a complete sentence? Think about it. I heard that somewhere earlier this week and thought "oh, that's cute". No, that is TRUE! I was thinking about it in terms of all the craziness I get myself hooked up into, and that I needed to start using it to protect my sanity. Well, after yesterday, I also need to use it to protect my health. And, I need to not only SAY it, but listen to it when I say it to myself. So... my goal for today is to say "Yes." to the good choices, and say "No." to the bad choices.

Thanks for all the sweet comments and support yesterday. I want to think there is something in the air, but you know what? I made bad choices. And, I haven't started choosing today, so I am not going to allow myself to engage in this self-sabotauge anymore. So, "YES" to the good choices and No! to the bad ones.

Sarah,

Thanks for sharing your minor mis-steps from yesterday. I am only one week out so I can't say that I can relate as a banster, but I can certainly relate as someone who has always been "dieting". It is important to remember that tomorrow is another day, a fresh start. It seems like you are on the right track today.

NO! - It is easy to say, but hard to really follow through sometimes. I know that you can say YES to the good and NO to the bad and really mean it! Have a great day full of good choices :)

Thanks for keeping it real yestereday. Accountability is a must in this journey of ours. I am also struggling...but your post today is encouraging. I will join with you today, saying Yes to good, and No to the bad!

What a PROFOUND statement! This is going to be my new mantra - NO is a complete sentence.

It's always reassuring to know that I'm not the only one who makes poor choices. You are strong however - because you recognize it right away and try to do something to change those choices. That's strength.

Good for you!! That was one crazy day yesterday, and now it's behind you.

I wonder if you need a fill b/c you can eat bread. Then again, you got stuck on the croissant thing -- but the sandwich and munchkins probably shouldn't be going down so smoothly. May be something to think about.

Way to recover from it though!! That is very positive and good!

What Catherine said -- Way to recover!

Be nice to yourself. Make it a kind "no," not a mean "no." No need to feel guilty or bad about anything either. Just part of life, move on.....

Good for you, Sarah. You know what I noticed in your post today : you had a bad day yesterday.. and today you wrote about saying no.. and yet there were no more recriminations for the food you ate (I'm sure they were in your mind though..lol)
I think this is such a positive thing! It means while you had a ick day food wise you are not intent on carrying it on any longer than the one day and are VERY aware of what where you went wrong (more fill maybe?) and today.. you just decided that it should stop. End of story.
Nice nice nice :)
