Last night at 11:30 I was awake and working. It was really hard not to eat. I thought of the stuff with wheat and sugar and decided that I didn't want that stuff in my body because I think it makes it hard to stick with the plan. And munching on fruit or yogurt is not abstinent but it's also not fun or doesn't give me a high. So what's the point?

I made some tea and it turned out tasty. I made it until bedtime. I texted C to tell her I wanted to eat but wasn't.

I need to go to the store. Second day of meat for breakfast.

Breakfast:
4 oz beef strips
1 cup of milk in coffee and oatmeal
1 cup of oatmeal
6 oz berries + a little bit of pear

Lunch:
4 oz chicken
1 cup stir fry peppers
1 cup salad
1 cup brown rice

Supper:
4 oz. chicken
1 cup quinoa
1 cup mashed potatoes
1 cup salad

Yogurt & apple

Lunch went as planned. I ate while surfing the net or doing a little blog reading--not relaxing, not tuning out, not looking out my window and enjoying the food or my family. I had a call that started 15 minutes after my plate was ready. Right now work is getting in the way of life. But my deadline is Thursday so that will be over soon. Have to cope until then.

Supper -- Well, the chicken wasn't unthawed and no taters. And I was starving so I ate leftovers. Fajita peppers, kidney beans, left over roast, cilantro and a tomatoes. All delicious and all enough food.

I have to say, I think I've lost weight. My tight pants fit OK now. I can't believe it.

Another night of working until midnight or 1 a.m. It's hard not to eat. I'm looking forward to Wed or Thurs night when I go to bed at a decent time.
