Maggie May Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 These are dumb woots. But after months of struggling with temptations, I think I am finally heading down the path of making saying "no" a habit.First, I have 2 large chocolate Easter bunnies that I STILL haven't touched. If you know me, that's a HUGE accomplishment.Second, I'm going to my parents' for dinner tonight:Mom: What do you want for a side?Me: Vegetables, you know, just steamed or grilled.Mom: Okay, do you want dessert?Me: NO.These choices would be normal for a weeknight (we don't keep bad food in our house anyway) but I struggle when I go places and things are offered. So... YAY! I am super proud ofmyself right now Link to comment

LRB Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Good for you! No is a very powerful word. Also a full sentence. (I need to remember the latter more often -- I usually launch into "because" and further justification of the 'no.')

Corbab Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Nice! My immediate fam has all gotten used to my "weird" eating, but I'm still nowhere near that confident with the relatives. Never think of pain or danger or enemies a moment longer than is necessary to fight them. -Ayn Rand Amongst those less skilled you can see all this energy escaping through contorted faces, gritted teeth and tight shoulders that consume huge amounts of effort but contribute nothing to achieving the task.
