Day 80—Wigging Out

Today was just one of those days. In the AM I usually try to pick the breakfast according to my time—but Ruby and I woke up late and I decided to have Turkey Bacon & Eggs, which is somewhat time consuming. At work, a few colleagues and I took a road trip to Costco—where we ran into Rich Lane—former head of Domania. When I got back to work, I accidentally caused all of my email to be transferred to a Windows machine. Overall, I was totally unnerved. With a break room full of new snacks, I really had to bite my lip and stay focused, eyes on the prize, not to totally wig out and eat lots of harmful, or even not so harmful things.

Breakfast
Jennie O Tb
2 Eggs O'
Tea

Snack
1/4 Cup of Unsalted Planters Nuts (lots of Brazil nuts today-yum)
1 Apple
6 oz Yoplait lite Blackberry (10 calories less than vanilla)

Lunch
Green Salad
Mediterranean Tuna Salad with Provolone, Red Peppers and Tomatoes.

Dinner
Trout with Red Peppers and Onions
Olives

Definitely a weird eating day. We set out for Costco without a plan to eat lunch and en route back we stopped at Dominics in Waltham. Though they had salads, I didn't know this until I had foolishly ordered a sandwich, planning to eat just the insides. They did have a plain green salad for $2.50 which I ordered. I was so hungry I ate all of everything in the back of the car. It was sad. However I realize that the key to staying on the diet is never letting yourself get too hungry. When that happens, you tend to overeat. When you stay fed all day, you don't feel those crazy swings. If there is anything I remain unapologetic for, it's knowing when I absolutely have to eat something, and I'm sorry if it's embarrassing. This was day two without a cheese stick and I had no apricots, so I'm really trying to be good and restrained. The only problem is that I came home from work and again I was like so hungry I was going to eat the baby. Luckily, I didn't have to. But it was a close one.

Hi, You are absolutely right. Getting hungry is getting close to being out of control. One of the great things about the SOBe is that the protein usually protects you from that. Today is another day. Love, MOM
