I denied McDonalds and freshly baked cookies
Yesterday was a really good day, I started my new 4 day-split and ate very well. But already the temptation was knocking. At college, we had a field trip and the girl who drove thought we could get McDonalds for lunch. As I looked at the menu… cripsy chicken and burgers and fries… Suddenly nothing looked better than a grilled chicken salad. 
Later on, at work, my temptation wasn’t so easy. Diane, I nurse that I work with, brought fresh baked chocolate chip cookies (which I love, I’m not really a big fast food fan, anyways.) So I sat there, eating my cottage cheese as my evening snack, with my back turned to the cookies. For a short time it was like they were calling my name. And then Diane offered me to help myself. So hard to decline, but my goals are much more important than a moment of warm chocolate on my lips. It’s really the first hugely successful self-restraint I’ve shown in a long time, but I know I can do it. And I have to if I’m going to reach my goals. So long, fresh baked cookies!
