Or maybe I'm FINALLY getting the sugar addiction/cravings out of my system? I just know I feel stronger when I'm building on success... it's too easy to rationalize when I'm not in a strong place, too easy to say "eh, I've been good all day so I deserve..." - WRONG!!!!
You all are SO right about the whole "it isn't worth it" thing--I REALLY struggled after going out for dinner for our anniversary. I shared a polenta fries appetizer with dh and had wine AND dessert (healthy main meal though). Then for breakfast the next day he changed our plans from going out to breakfast to DUNKIN DONUTS! I had a wheat bagel w/egg and cheese, which made me totally sick. And it kept on going from there...I think I gained about 3# over that week, because it's like once my will power is broken, it stays that way! Great job on staying on track and HOORAY for the weight and bf losses!!!
