Must. Not. Give. Up.

Oh my!  I haven't posted since August!!!!  Oh wait, that's only about a week.  So I stayed at my moms for over a week and managed to fight off the urge to partake in eating all the treats!  I actually feel immensely proud of myself, because I was nervous that I wouldn't have much self control.  Also, I tried some fried food from a restaurant (mini corn dogs with fries) and GUESS WHAT???  I didn't like them!  I LOVED to eat those when I was out at the bars.  I have been extremely cutting down on my processed food consumption and all of a sudden, about two weeks in, it just doesn't taste that good anymore.  Maybe it was just cooked wrong....but I'm going to say that it's because I haven't been eating that junk.  Since I've posted, I school started so now I'm back at the high school and I'm so excited for this year!  I'm definitely going to be trying to plan my meals better though... School lunch can be okay sometimes, but (I'm pretty sure) the school figures out when I forget my lunch or have no groceries because it is no bueno when I eat it usually.  Today was nachos with very salty chips, processed cheese, sour cream, and other junk.  I could barely eat any of it, because....yikes.  Not good.  So I went grocery shopping and got some more fruit, hummus, and a few other things, and left before I could buy junk food.  This diet thing is tough stuff!  I can definitely see how rooted my food addiction is.  A few days ago, I was literally fighting with myself to stay sitting on the couch instead of going to the kitchen to get some of the chips that were sitting on the counter.  My foot was shaking and I was fidgeting with my hands.  I stayed strong, but it was NOT easy.  But I'm still working on it and I'll continue to work on it, because it has to be done.  The highlight of this last weekend?  I weighed myself and it shows that I lost 5 pounds since they weighed me at my appointment.  In less than two weeks, I lost 5 pounds.  I'm not sure if the scale is off and I've not lost anything, but I would like to think that I have.  So I'm going to think that I have!  So there!
