A Craving I couldn't Resist....

Well, the diet has been going pretty well so far. I am up to about 21 pounds, but of course John has lost much more. Today started off pretty good-I ate a banana and nutrigrain bar for breakfast, although I desperately wanted some of Jenna's pancakes drenched in syrup.

I was also pretty proud of myself at lunch. We went with my friend Michelle to Bob Evans, and I had a side salad and cup of vegetable soup....well, and a roll!

Then it came to dinner time. We went to Chipotle, and I had a chicken burrito! I just had to have the burrito, but then I regretted it. It was the smallest burrito ever-I think you actually get more in the burrito bowl. It sure did taste good though!

Finally it was my first big craving that I had to have...A small Oreo blizzard from Dairy Queen. It was one of those things that I have been thinking about for a while so I had to give in and treat myself. I can't say how good that blizzard tasted! John even got a small twist cone. You should have heard the "yums" and "oohs" coming from our car! Even Jenna was loving her small cup of chocolate ice cream. Well, I guess the plus is that I weighed the same tonight as I did this morning-nothing lost, nothing gained! For the taste, it was worth it! Let's just hope I don't start making those cravings a habit. I need to lose at least 40 more pounds and then some...especially if I want to wear a bathing suit in Florida! Oh well, I just kept hearing Greenlee's voice in my head saying "You need to eat what you want every now and then...." :)

    Definately! Treating yourself every now and then will not hurt you. You are eating really healthy now, so it's not bad to have some of the "good stuff" when you want it.

    But, you did pick a crazy cold day to satisfy your DQ craving!!! :))
