I did good not eating today. I didn't eat dinner, the family ate waffles for dinner, so I just had some of my Crio Bru:
I was feeling really down this morning, with the weight gain and all. It is absolutely remarkable to me how fast my weight can go up when I am not on my plan. Just looking at my weight chart, I have gained more than five pounds in four days! And you can see it is curving upward.
Sometimes it seems like it takes so long, so much effort to lose a few pounds, and yet just let your guard down for a very short time and it's all back! This is why I weigh in daily and try to be constantly vigilant. If I decide to take a week or two off, or think I just don't want to deal with it for a while, then I will end up getting right back where I was in a very short time!
At work today there were iced brownies in the break room. That's one of my favorites. I also had a pocket full of one dollar bills, and there were only three other people from my group there at work, so it felt pretty lonely. I used to work a lot of overtime, so I'd be there alone late at night, and I actually enjoyed it because I would go to the vending machine and get chips, snacks, and even those microwave hamburgers. So today felt like that, and I was tempted to take my one dollar bills and go wild. I've probably never been tempted as bad to quit as I was today. But I somehow held strong, mostly because I knew I'd be accountable here on the blog, and I didn't spend my ones or eat the iced brownies or waffles for dinner.

We went to a drive-in movie tonight. There I had a few handfuls of popcorn and some graham crackers, so still not overly many calories compared to a meal. I feel pretty good about it, even though I'd feel a bit better if I hadn't eaten anything, but it is certainly an improvement after the last few days.
