WILLPOWER:

a note on will power:

Tomorrow is my long-awaited graduation. So like many people we have family over, and the grill’s all ablaze. Instead of saying yes to potatoes and steak with sauce and toppings, I chose grilled veggies (2 servings) and maybe 2 oz (at most) of the steak (really marinated, heavy in calories for even a tiny bit). 

This is how I know that I’ve definitely made progress. I said “no.” me, myself, and I are the only ones involved in this journey, and it’s taken a looooong time to figure this out. Staying strong, guys(: 

progress is beautiful. 

buh, in need of some protein.

whole egg on a slice of my fave gluten free bread.
