Day 8, Round 3- Peanut butter

weigh in: 147.4 pounds
loss of: 0.2 pounds
total loss of: 7.8 pounds

I told you weight loss would inevitably come to a screeching halt. Don't worry we are just at a stop light and the light will turn green soon and I will hit the gas. :) Cheesy, again! :)

I feel great this morning, regardless! I feel like I did a really great thing yesterday. I talked with one of my comrades, Hormonally Changed Gal (Thank you, thank you!) about how I was having an urge for peanut butter. I took her advice to plan a cheat and do it mindfully. I ate a tablespoon of peanut butter, deliciously slow and consciously. I ate it and moved on. I felt in control and when that is the feeling- then a 0.2 loss does not bother me. I felt like I needed to do what I could to not guilt myself, punish myself or deny myself. I am in this for the long haul and so I can't go full fledged into self sabotage. I think it did the trick, because of how I feel this morning. Ready again to stay true to protocol!

So, don't feel like you are a failure if you have cravings. If you can thwart those without giving in that is wonderful, if you can't fully squash those yearnings do it in a way that does not defeat you, but rather helps you. Thank you again for the support!
