This morning, my boyfriend brought me breakfast in bed because it's finals week, which was super sweet, but more calories than I wanted.

My NSV is that I only ate the eggs and toast and skipped the side of potatoes even though they were in front of me, which I was proud of myself for! The old me would have never done that.

The second NSV is that I also didn't do the thing I used to do where once I'd overeaten, I'd just call the day a wash, stop counting and eat everything... we went out to dinner, and I still chose to save leftovers and only order one drink. So even with going over my calories , I think that today had a lot of positives for me that I wanted to share!

And on the bright side, my total for the day was only about my maintenance, so I feel okay with knowing I didn't undo any progress and that I'll do better tomorrow.

I saw a post on here last week that said something like ... losing weight is just practicing for what your life will be like once you've lost the weight. I like thinking of that anytime I see myself making better decisions. It's not just about the weight loss, but it's about making changes to my life to make sure that I not only lose the weight, but eventually keep it off. And while today wasn't a day that contributed to my weight loss from a strictly caloric standpoint, it did contribute because I practiced making good choices and a healthier lifestyle :)
