Today was one of those days in my past life I would have eaten everything in sight and then some..... hmm let me start at the begining...

I manage a hotel. My boss was due to come visit the property today to see how I am doing. I have only been with the company for 3 months. Well all day long I was nervous about my boss comming, and I kept wanting to snack, but I didn't. Instead I walked up and down the 3 flights of stairs in the hotel twice each to take my mind off things. Then I found out about 1:30pm that she would be here around 4. So I went home and made lunch, chicken wings.

Well my boss came and was exstatic about how well I had done the things she had asked me to do last time she visited, and sat me down in private to tell me the news. I am being promoted!!! It requires me moving (my 5th state in 3 months) but I have done such a good job here she wants me to go to the property where her office is and fix that one up.

I was so excited when she left I ran home and called everyone I know (which is only 4 people since I just moved back to the country 3 months ago) and told them. then I decided I should celebrate.....

The old me would have gone straight for the junk food, but the new me.... I grilled up a hamburger, fried up some bacon, and made a bacon cheeseburger to celebrate. I never coulda done it without the support of everyone on this board. Your posts are true inspiration.

So now, not only am I getting a promotion (and a raise) I am losing weight while I celebrate all of this. What could be better?

Good job! This is really a good thing to read. Changing your habits means dealing with times like these differently than you did before, and you've really done a good job. You didn't let life give you an excuse. Nice work, and congrats!

And are you lovin' being in the '70'ies, or what? That makes it a triple celebration from my p.o.v.

I know what you mean about the support--the w.o.e. is what makes the change, but t.d.c. makes it possible for me to stick with the w.o.e. long enough to want to stick with this w.o.e. --you said it well.
