Feeling more normal...ish

Okay people....here is where the rubber meets the road.  The poor me cravings have started.   I thought I would have a smidgen more of a honeymoon period but no such luck.  I watched my daughter enviously as she slurped back a jumbo mr freezie.  I watched everyone eat a Oreo sandwich.  I did treat myself to a Crystal light while everyone ate their dessert.  I checked myself on my scale which isn't as good as having my self weighed on the same scale I started on but I was curious.  After three days my scale says four pounds gone.  I know this is just water weight but it was four pounds in three days.  And this is how I am consoling myself. I tell myself being happy in not worth a freezie.  It isn't worth an Oreo ice cream sandwich.  They taste good in the moment but I feel sad and I beat myself up immediately after I eat it.  I know they aren't a good choice for a sugar addict like myself because I can't eat just one.  I'll have one and then I'll eat a piece of cheese and then a piece of sandwich meat and then a bowl of cereal and then I'll feel bad so I'll eat chocolate.  It's insane.  So I have just decided to stop that behaviour.  If it doesn't make me happy, I'm not eating it.  Eating what's on plan is following my goal and therefore makes me happy so protein it is.  Beside what other diet can you have chocolate pudding for breakfast?!? So carry on, carry on.......
