First of many, many pounds

Well, this morning was encouraging. I managed to take off my additional pound, plus one more!! That was exciting for me. It was difficult seeing my weight creep up on the very first day and all. Cravings are the worst right now, but I kind of expected that. My biggest downfall on diets are the temptations to NOT do it! I start thinking all the time about what I would like to eat, then I start plotting how to get it. Drop kids off to school, and then I can stop and get a breakfast burritto, whatever. Lately it has been breaded and fried mushrooms for some reason. I will actually plan out a course of action so I can get them without anyone knowing about it. It is strange too because no one even CARES if I had them, so why am I trying to plan out how to sneak them?? That is a mental oddity that I don’t think I will ever understand. I’ve heard that you can be addicted to carbs. Haven’t we all heard that though? But I think that I probably am. That or crazy!! Jury is still out on that one.
Last night I did ok, I suppose. I always think I could do better, but I’m going for improvement instead of perfection. Improve long enough… right? I had a turkey sandwich instead of a cheese burger, and chips instead of french fries. Ok, I had about 8-10 of my daughter’s ff.. AGAIN!! GGGGrrrrr! I had a lot fewer than I did the night before. The mistake was having drive-thru 2 nights in a row. Need to get to the grocery, but been busy with school starting and work. Will try to get there after work tonight (before hub gets off), so I can get it done WITHOUT outside influence to buy that icecream!!
Oh! The “good me” for yesterday is that I not only walked my dogs over my lunchbreak, I also got in about a 30 min walk last night with them instead of reading a book for the evening!! It will be nice when hub can get off work before 10pm and join me! That will be nice! Yeah Me!

    Awwwweee.. you are just saying that, Molly, cuz I’m a Wild Cat now!! Wooohoooo! Not sure what that all means yet, but I’m hoping for a slow afternoon at work so I can find out!! It kind of feels like it is getting easier to stop obsessing about food!

    Fried and breaded mushrooms are very hard for me to stay away from too. Haven’t had any in about 8 months now. Most of the time I’m okay with it, but every now and again I get this mad urge flare up inside me to run out and get some!

    Keep up the hard work!!
