First I want to share about how this blog came to be. The phrase “Victory Over Food” came up in a Weight Watcher’s meeting quite some time ago. Then last May I brought it up in a meeting commenting on how much I liked that phrase. It was that day that I secured the domain (still having technical difficulties in getting the blog on the domain, so for now it’s on blogspot.) It took me clear until this month to finally start the blog!
I initially was going to do tweets with what I like to call “VOF
moments” but then I decided a full blog would be the better way to go. Now let
me explain what I’m calling a VOF moment. Because losing weight is a choice
that involves all the little and not so little choices we make every day, I wanted to focus on
celebrating all the good choices made regarding food and post them for our own benefit and the benefit of others. Here’s a couple of them from my own personal VOF Journal:
Wednesday: Needed to get lunch during day of errands. Really
considered getting a cheese quesadilla from Del Taco, but instead decided to go
to Jamba Juice for one of their wrap sandwiches. To my disappointment, I discovered
they discontinued them! Instead of giving in to something less healthy and
higher calorie, I went a couple doors down to Subway for a veggie sandwich, but
when I saw they served breakfast all day, I opted for the small egg white melt
which is even less calories, filling
and super cheap! This was a victory over food!
Friday: Went to Whole Foods Market: really wanted a slice of
their pizza. Thought about making it “healthier” by having a pizza slice along
with a salad from the salad bar. Ultimately decided NOT to have the pizza at
all and instead make myself a large, healthy salad for lunch. I didn’t have the pizza, even though I really
wanted it. I made a better choice. Victory!
So, you see what I am talking about. Feel free to share your
own VOF moments here. (I’ve been told some people can’t comment. I’m hoping I’ve
had this issue fixed, but if not I’ll keep working on it! You should be able to
comment either with a Google or other ID or even without any by
just typing a name or clicking Anonymous from the drop down menu. I do have it set for moderation, so comments have to get
approved first before they show up.)
