Days 7-11

Wow, I'm not very good at posting daily! It's mostly because I go to a message board and pour out everything there. Anyway, I have bypassed some really yummy carby temptations during these few days. On Friday the 8th day, I was at a work meeting and got treated to FREE lunch at a favorite restaurant of mine. I got a grilled chicken salad and told them to hold the fries that they pile ontop of a perfectly healthy salad!! It's a regional thing--they put fries on the sandwiches too. Then, on Saturday I was at a church meeting all day (hello, anytime there is church people there is lots of food!). My first test was the beautiful bowl of chocolates sitting right in front of my chair. I removed them immediately and put them on down the table--I didn't even want a whiff of them! Then, they had "healthy breakfast foods" but nothing carb free so I bypassed the yogurt, fruit, and muffins. Then, lunch was lasagna, breadsticks, salad, and desserts. I had salad.

I'm so obsessed with not cheating that I even dreamed about it. I dreamed that I ate chocolate and was immediately so mad at myself and upset. When I woke up I was so relieved that it was a dream!

I struggled quite a bit today. I was home all day with the kids--snow day. I was doing the pantry search like I've done in the past just looking for "something" that can never be found. I ate quite a bit today, but did not cheat!

I am feeling more clear-minded and better about myself. My psoriasis seems to be getting worse instead of better, but perhaps that's what happens while getting rid of "toxins" or something.
