I did it!!!

So today I was faced with a new challenge - up to this point I had controlled all of my eating by eating at home or bringing my lunch - well my job requires that I take potential clients to lunch or attend different lunch meetings - so today was my first day at making healthy choices at a restaurant - my first accomplishment was ordering a water with lemon - no pepsi and the restaurant was a pepsi establishment my very favorite drink in the world - so that was a huge thing for me - 2nd I ordered a steak sandwich - unfortunately due to the incredients on the sandwich that I have never heard of I didn't and/or couldn't count the points for it - HOWEVER, i only ate half of the sandwich - AND it came with these wonderful flavored waffle fries and I only allowed myself 3 and stuck to it - after half the sandwich was gone and the 3 fries were gone I covered my plate with my napkin and was done - yeah for me!!!!! This may seem so small to so many people out there but to me its HUGE!!! watching my co-worker drinking her pepsi and eating all of her food I was so jealous I wanted to just devour all of my food but I kept picturing my long term goal and that was a good inspiration to control my portion!! Hope everyone had a great day - I have my first follower - thanks so much for your kind words and inspiration!!
