Day 10: Back on Track

Morning Weight: 155.8

Morning Mood: Eh.

For some reason I was really fighting some cravings yesterday. I read all these holiday cookbooks trying to tell myself I was just getting ready for the season and the parties I have coming up, but really I just wanted something yummy and naughty. The weather also plays a big factor--it's getting to be really cold outside and it makes me want to tuck in and cook. A couple of days ago I spent a couple of hours making 2 different kinds of homemade soup and freezing it. Not eating it. Last round, I ended up cooking a lot for birthdays and 4th of July and I would freeze myself a portion for after HCG and they are still in the freezer. This diet does something weird to your mindset. It doesn't change your habits, but in the days after the diet you realize that food isn't that big of a deal. It doesn't really taste as good as you thought and you weren't missing out as much as you thought. Also, it puts a food's worth into perspective. How good is it really? Do I really love it? If I really honestly love it, then it is totally worth it. If its artificial and mediocre, I'm going to skip it. Anyway, the last couple of days were challenging because my weight hasn't dropped the way I'd hoped, but I think I'm back on track. I lost the .6 I need to do everyday.
