challenges

The tough parts discovered so far:

• needing to have fresh fruit or crunchy veggies for when I come home hungry
• stopping myself from sinking into late night eating. It's so easy to slip into eating too much food in the evening.
• seeing calorie dense foods makes me want them- and it's really difficult to keep it to just one taste. A lump of raw cookie dough in the freezer attacked me tonight- sigh. Very happy to report that I kept it limited to one piece nibbled (a didn't eat the other three pieces that came with it!).
• remembering that this will take time. Watching the Biggest Loser the other night made it easy to forget this need for time as well. Losing 17 pounds in one week- yesh. That show gives me all sorts of bad feelings. More on that later probably.
