not enough veggies today! - I will still have a snack later but I am not sure what yet. I'm thinking yogurt with cocoa powder, stevia, and agave nectar.

Yesterday, I don't even want to discuss...but I will anyway. Letting it out helps one deal with her demons. Anyway, I'm waiting for Aunt Flo...and if she's not here by the end of this week...eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeK! I'm cranky, un-affectionate, craving and hungry. But that's another story.

l - same as yesterday + green beans and almonds

By the way, I don't list my menu here daily as I plan it in Fitday but it is good - high fibre cereal, fruit and yogurt, only one slice of bread per day, soups, lean meats and lots of veggies. I'll just report the transgressions.

The scale made it clear to me this morning that I'm falling back into fat thinking and just have to get a grip. I keep saying that and still thinking I can "sneak" little extras in.Of course I know better, but I've been doing it anyway. If I didn't know before (and I did!) how easy it is to gain it all back I certainly know now.
