Cakebatter, reading your post got me thinking and reminded me of something, about the food addictions and breaking them. I remember that the month before I first found this site (when I was desperate, I just could no longer stand feeling horrible, and guilt , shame from the food fests and all that stuff) I spent one whole month just working on getting myself on a schedule . My eating was all over the place, no set times, and one of my worst habits (aside from the types of food you mentioned) was late night eating! Oh it was tough breaking that at first. I would get watermelon and eat that and drink water and I remember still laying in bed not sleeping at first. I was pretty deep into some bad habits and for me ,at that time, it wasn't like I dove right into a perfect first day! It took me some time to break the cravings(or lessen them in frequency rather), stopped skipping meals, developed a schedule for lunch and dinner times, cut off point for dinner, replacing old bad eating habits with newer healthier ones! That's a lot!! Once I got that groundwork set, I joined here and was ready to lose weight
(while working on laying the foundation, I maintained and put a halt to further gaining). When I didn't do good or thought I didn't, I would say ok tomorrow I will do better and slowly but surely every day I saw progress in some way and focused on that progress, no matter how little or great! What I found is that when we beat ourselves up, often times it can feed foodfests or hinder us from moving forward. You were able to pull yourself up after those feelings today and accomplish a great workout! wtg!
That is great! JUst read your updated post, right on!
Jacqui.......wtg on having a good day and high motivation

Hi Scarlet, wtg on the fight!
It takes some practice, I really feel it does....it did for me anyways, but each time we fight and fight and fight we get a little closer and with time it becomes easier. Keep up the good work

Fenderella, oh it sounds like you had a great first day, congratulations
those postive feelings you get from doing good are going to help you do good tomorrow too! That is great that you made the omelettes and enjoy them! You know something? I always use the whole eggs but I know better and now I promise to try the ratio you did (after I use up my farm fresh eggs
) . One night a week, I have a brunch night for DH and I. Sometimes I make it for lunch too. I use the kraft fat free cheese (the yellow one, sometimes the mozarella too). After tomorrow nights dinner, I will try like you did it too! I have been needing a push in that direction ( I watch my cholesterol and all) so thanks for the inspiration fenderella . Congrats on the walk too! I think it is great that you started walking, they say it is the safest way to work out. I enjoy it too, which makes it a lot easier to get some exercise in.
Hi Bronte, congrats on a good day and the workout, the water too
I hope everyone else is well and remember if it wasn't a great day, tomorrow is a new day! We start fresh again tomorrow.
As for me, I had a good day. I managed some wii aerobics and kept busy with chores. Had my turkey wrap thingy for lunch and DH and I went out to dinner. I got the haddock(baked), salad, 1/2 bak. potato. (they have early bird specials which are very reasonably priced). I love that restaurant because I can order the fish and it is a nice break from chicken (which I eat a lot). I bet one of the reasons I had a better than usual week last week was because of the fish! I always lose more when I eat it. I am going to shoot for it at least 2x a week for now.
I bring a gallon jug of water with me while I sit on the pc and keep filling up my cup as I sip and write. It helps keep me full at night (my danger zone) and a great way to get some more water in. So far so good.
Sleep well everyone, I will catch you all in the morning. Let's keep at it, we can do this
.
so 152.5 is my goal 
I just am so hungry. So I will try to get back in control of it tomorrow.....
Then the teacher and the proctor kept talking, and I sit in the front so I just kept giving them this look and they'd quiet down but only for a few seconds. I have a mild case of ADD and cannot concentrate at all with people talking or with lots of noises. So I'm actually fairly surprised I got a high B. I'm really hoping I'll feel better soon, cuz I have not been able to exercise for the past 2 days due to absolutely no energy. Next week is spring break so hopefully I'll be able to catch up on everything. Well I'm gonna get some sleep, I have an 8 am class tomorrow and if I don't go to sleep soon I won't have the energy to wake up in the morning. Hopefully I'll be able to check back in tomorrow. Night everyone.
wtg on the exercise, have you been geocaching? Yucky weather here girl and we are due for rain for the next 2 days to come. I have to force my hiney to get back on the treadmill! I got spoiled my outdoor walks! I didn't manage it today but tis a new day tomorrow and I need to 
tomorrow. Sleep well 
for us all to get through the night without any late night eating and for our new day tomorrow.
