Good girl
You don't need it. Like I've said on several posts before, I give myself one "wild card" per week to use on whatever I want. Hamburger, Taco-bell, Dessert... but you only get one. And lately, now that I've been doing the diet thing for several weeks, I find most of my wild-cards a big disappointment.
So now it's even easier to pass up on birthday-cake and stuff, because it just doesn't have the orgasmic sugar-rush quality it used to when I was addicted to sugar-carbs and red meat. I'm not a vegan by any stretch of the imagination, but when I more or less stopped eating red meat in favor of chicken and fish 7 years ago, I never went back. One time, I decided I'd have a mushroom swiss hamburger (one of my favorites) and all I could think while I was eating was, "This is it? What a waste. For some reason I thought this would be really good, and here I'm eating 500 calories and 32+ grams of fat for this lousy letdown."
So, don't worry - it won't be a challenge to pass up on that stuff forever! But in the short-term - good job!
