So, I did very good at the party last night. I got a large iced tea on my way there and didn't touch a thing ! I was very proud of myself. They had a LOT of sweet stuff, though. I have to say, that didn't bother me too bad. I wasn't really hungry. I LOVE making things with a can of tomatoes. It really fills me up.

I am only down 1/2 lb today. Kind of a dismal prize after avoiding all the temptations last night. I'm going to drink some of the Smooth Move tea today. I just feel constipated. Gotta clean those pipes! I should be starting sometime within the next few days so that may have something to do with it, too.

7:30pm
I've done good so far today. I had spinach with shrimp and and orange julius for lunch and lettuce topped with tuna and an apple cobbler for dinner. I just got done drinking the "poop" tea. Hopefully, I didn't screw myself for tomorrow. I was going to wait until I was off work, but that's not until Saturday and we've got stuff to do then.

I am having second thoughts about sticking with this for 40 days. I'm just being honest, here. I WANT to but I DO get hungry. Now, it will pass with some coffee or something but I still can't wait for the day that I can wake up and have me some eggs and sausage!! I know..it's short term and I really think that being pre-menstrual is making me crave more today. I should be fine in a couple of days. I just had to get that out. I promised myself I wasnt' going to hold back when writing this.

Daphne and Tiffany went to Fazolli's for dinner tonight and it smelled REALLY GOOD!! I would've given my left boob for a breadstick. But I resisted. The girls at work are being very kind. This is the first time they've gone out to eat since I started this. I appreciate them not wanting to tempt me, but like I told them, this is MY battle. I have to learn to deal with it.

I think that's all I'm gonna write today.

More tomorrow..
