Day 7³

 Well, 7 days in and my weight is still on its way down:

My scale was kind of all over the place this morning.  I put new batteries in it, but it still took it quite some time to settle down and start giving me a consistent number.  I ordered a new one.  If the new one is way off from the one I have, then I may have to make some adjustments, realizing that my previous weights were not accurate.  We'll see.

I did manage to fast the full day until dinner, so that's a big win once again.  Tonight I had a big salad and some chicken and refried beans for dinner:

I wasn't able to finish that while I was sitting for dinner, I got too full.  So I guess that's a good thing.  I did, however, go a little crazy in the evening, eating a bunch of unhealthy foods.  Shortly after dinner I had some Doritos, then a snack pack pudding, then a couple pop tarts (they are my true weakness) and I think a granola bar or two then a bowl of cereal.  I know, it was hard to list all of that, quite embarrasing.  But I want to be totally honest here in my blog.  

I'm not sure what drove me to eat so much, despite being full.  I guess I just fell into old habits and didn't stop myself.  I was just going to have a big bowl of cereal for dinner, since I've been craving it for a while, but I changed my mind at the last second when others were getting the chicken.  That was probably the first mistake.  I should have just eaten the cereal that I really wanted and been done with it.  I noticed as I listed that above, that after I ate the cereal I finally stopped, so maybe it was just me really wanting that cereal.  Here's to doing better tomorrow.
