Success

For the first time I went to a party and did not eat foods I knew were bad for my tummy. That is such a huge step for me. I passed up the artichoke dip, bread, crackers, and cream cheese dip, and I even put down my ginger ale when I realized it had high fructose corn syrup in it. Instead I munched on tortilla chips with guacamole and tomatoes, deviled eggs, and had a small glass of prosecco. And I wasn't even tempted this time to eat any of those bad foods. It's amazing how if you never give up and keep telling yourself you're worth it, you can overcome frustration and defeat and replace it with self love and success. What a great way to start the new year!
