I woke up on Day 2....

...needing sugar. Surprise, Surprise! I seriously wanted to have a huge bowl of this...
My favorite cereal!!!
Obviously, I'm already having withdraws. Day 1 was surprisingly easy. I loved my breakfast, I loved my lunch (minus the kale, hate that stuff, I will omit next time), and I loved my dinner too. It was all delicious and filling. After dinner we sat down to watch American Idol and of course every commercial break was filled with images of food. Food that I really wanted. Even though I had just eaten, seeing the image triggered my brain which told me I was still hungry and that was what I needed. I went to bed hungry. I woke up hungry. The thing is...I'm so used to consuming an insane amount of bad calories that having a healthy amount of good calories does not feel like enough. I have to get to a point where I eat to live and not the other way around. How long do you think that will take? This is going to be hard but, I know I can do it. I got past my sugar craving this morning, mostly by keeping myself busy. Now...I'm content. I'm proud of myself for not giving in. I know it was only one temptation overcome, but it's a huge improvement for me. I can do this! I can do this! I can do this!
