Well, I didn't wash my dishes, and I didn't go swimming, as I chose to do some uni work instead, but the other things I didn't do are much more constructive: I didn't stay home in my pyjamas all day! I didn't forget to take my meds on time! I didn't buy or drink any diet coke (it's 10 days now!) I didn't buy or eat that chocolate muffin (although I did give it a good, hard stare). I didn't buy or eat Hungry Jack's for tea (it really only flitted into my mind for a second). I didn't have a nap! I didn't berate myself for being an under-achiever! It's important to celebrate the wins, however small. Gold star for me!
