Writing yesterday’s post kept me busy pretty much all morning, but then it was almost time for lunch.

I had to go get some errands done and one stop included the grocery store. Something about going grocery shopping always makes me HUNGRY! My errands took me across town to where a newly remodeled grocery store is. I have not been there since the remodel, so I decided now would be a good time to check it out!
Their bakery section was to die for! I wanted to bring home one of everything. But I quickly left that danger zone and went ahead with my shopping list.
I REALLY wanted some fresh baked cookies from the bakery, but I knew buying a box of 12 would NOT have been a good idea. I also knew I wanted a mid-afternoon snack so I set out to find a better choice than a box of cookies. On my way to the check out line I found these guys…

Last night we had some rocking storms move through Florida, so I hunkered down with my dinner and a night good for TV watching!
Photographing my food is new to me, so I did not capture my dinner. But it was a burger on a sandwich thin with some cheese and onions. Along with a side of peas! Yum Yum!
My journal entries from yesterday were very positive. Once I pulled myself together I did not struggle with food. It was a victory.
However, I do realize that it is MUCH easier to control my eating when I am alone rather than out with a group. Today I have plans for lunch out with a friend at an undecided location. I am learning how to control my eating at home, but I must also master the art of eating out.
Today is off to a great start! With Chocolate deliciousness!

One change at a time. One success at a time. Victory will be mine!
Coffee With Sabrina 
I walked past my favorite cookie place without stopping!
It's great that you are feeling better about your food. Good luck at lunch!
I feel like it is easier to control my eating when I am alone too. With my husband, I always want to go out to eat or binge on all these bad foods…. so frustrating!
Way to go, girl! 🙂
I can control my eating only when I plan out my dad meal by meal. I need to know exactly what the calorie count is in each item. Once I eat something that I can't find the calorie count for, I'm done…it's all downhill from there!
Great job!
Thank you for linking up Sabrina. I swam a lot yesterday with my kids and resisted a lot of junk food – it was Australia Day and it tends to mean an array of chips and nuts on every picnic table!
I have the same problem. I do so good when I'm at home and in control, but if I go somewhere it seems to through my diet off balance. It's something I need to work on.
Planning is such a lifesaver for me. Sometimes I go as far as making a list of what I will be getting and the points that it is worth. It kind of strengthens my commitment in my mind. 🙂
One of my biggest struggles is working out consistently, so every time I make it to the gym I consider it a victory 🙂
It's so hard to eat out with friends, especially if they're the kind of people to “encourage” you to indulge “just this once”. I've realised I'm bad about dieting, I “treat” myself a little too often. Good for you for avoiding the baked goods!
I am claiming victory in deciding what I'm going to do to fix my floundering weightloss..
And all that food looks yummy! 🙂
Congrats on taking control..
Wow! Your weight loss diary is detailed! Maybe I need to take a leaf out of your book… We had Australia Day yesterday and I stayed within my ProPoints. Total victory! Hi from Fat to Fit!
Great job, Miss Sabrina. Keep up the awesome work!! 🙂 I'm proud of you.
Congratulations on walking past the baked goods section! My hubby's birthday was Monday, so I had to actually peruse the baked goods. haha
What a great positive post. I find when I am at work eating is better. Weekends are an issue I need to work on.
