Today is the end of my second week. I haven't exercised this week because I'm having trouble breathing with this chest cold I have and I'm hating myself for it. I've eaten pretty well and haven't gorged myself on Little Debbies or the kids' sugary cereal (which by the way won't be bought anymore)so I feel pretty good about my food intake. The wonderful thing I discovered is that I don't have to deprive myself of everything tasty and fluffy and sweet. I give myself a bite (a nibble not a chomp) of the things I crave. And I only do it after I've eaten a meal and I am satisfied; that way I don't overindulge and end up frustrated and drowning in self-loathing. I use coffee as a deterrent, too. If I'm having a pretty big craving I make enough coffee for a mug or two, then put a few tablespoons of one of my fat-free flavored creamers (Coffee House Inspirations - a life saver) and voila! My cravings are gone after a few sips.
I was really wanting to make a nice, hot soup tonight without having to go to the store. It turned out great! Look for the recipe!
