Day 14 - Morning Check-In

Yay. I have lasted two weeks on my new diet plan. I have mentioned a few times that I am treating myself like I would an addict since I have found so many similarities between my addiction to food and an addiction to something actually addicting like drugs or alcohol. So i thought it would be fitting to celebrate my two week anniversary by giving myself a two week chip (just like they do in AA). So here it is, my two week chip:


It's it cute. My next chip will be when I get to one month. The farther I get the more confident I become that I can make it one whole month.

It's 7:18am and I have to leave soon to take my older daughter to school. I've eaten breakfast (Special K) and I'm drinking a cup of coffee w/nonfat milk. I am low on milk, raspberries, and pretzels so I'm going to have to go to the store after work. I'm not sure what we're going to do for dinner tonight but it am going to look up some healthy recipes and try something new.

One more thing to mention... Last night, after I wrote my last post for the evening, I laid down to go to bed and I was craving some dessert type food. I don't know if I was hungry (from only eating 1/2 my dinner) or I was just craving shit. It's really hard to tell sometimes. I just want to report that I held my ground and didn't give in. I realized that if I gave in to my cravings, the gratification would only last a few minutes until I fell asleep. Then today, I'd have a whole day of disappointment that I couldn't control my craving and gave in. So when you look at it in hindsight, you really see it's not worth it.

Okay everyone I'm off. Have a great day and don't give in to your cravings!

Daily goal today: To eat more fruits and veggies for snacks today and less pretzels. Since I skipped my daily goal yesterday I'll add a second one to today, which is: To try a new healthy recipe.

Good luck everyone.
