I run a small breakfast place, so there's always a warm tray of muffins within reach. For a long time, my portion control was basically telling myself the broken cookie didn't count.
These days I pack my own lunch before the morning rush, keep a water bottle by the register, and eat at 10:30 instead of grazing until close. I'm 41 pounds down, and the target I circled on an old order pad is four pounds away.
Nothing dramatic, but my apron ties without the top loop digging in, and I got through a whole Saturday rush without a single pastry. I keep going back and forth on whether to mark the first big number when I hit it or just treat it like any other Tuesday.
For those who've crossed their first real milestone, did you celebrate or keep it quiet?
