(NSV) Finally realizing (and doing) the lifestyle change

My weight has yo-yo’d for years doing diets, but I think I’ve finally been able to incorporate the lifestyle change that is necessary to sustain weight loss and a healthier weight and I’m ecstatic.

A co-worker hosted a game night last night and invited about 10-15 people over. They ordered a bunch of pizzas for everyone and had bought a lot of snacks and ice cream for dessert. I went and had a good time while limiting myself to two slices of pizza and 3 beers. No ice cream and no snacks.

Definitely not my best diet day by any means, but in all my previous weight loss attempts, I would have said oh, game night? That means a night off, which means cheat meal, which means I can binge and eat whatever I want. But not anymore. While pizza and beer certainly isn’t part of my regular diet, it’s amazing to know I can enjoy both responsibly.

For those out there who have struggled with balancing a social outing and dieting, there’s hope. And remember, it’s progress, not perfection.
