This is hard...

Day 2.

Last night I was really good...until around 11. I was watching a movie with my roommate when I just got a hankering for something to snack on that I could hardly resist. Si I compromised and got and apple and a couple of spoons full of peanut butter. Normally I would have made a big bowl of pasta...so I think I came out alright in the end.

When I got up this morning and weighed, it looked like I had gained nearly 7lbs. over night, with the scale reading 283. I highly doubt I could have gotten that off of an apple and some peanut butter, so I am hoping I read the scale wrong the first morning I started when it said 278...maybe it said 288. Who knows.

Today went well...could have been better, but it was okay.

I had a bowl of cereal for breakfast.
An apple around 12pm.
Went home and made a hotdog sandwhich (pretty great) and ate with my roommate.

My other roommate asked me to bring him a sandwhich since we had the next class together, so I made him a ham and cheese. We got to class and he had already eaten. Well, there sat a perfectly good sandwhich so I ate it :(

BUT!!! I think I compensated when I came home and had a big bowl of applesauce for dinner and that was the last time I ate...around 4:30pm. It is now 9:07pm and I have had a glass of milk and have a HUGE HUGE HUGE urge for pasta! I do not understand what my pasta kick is, but it is without a doubt a strong vice I have in my life. But I am not going to fall in to it. I do not need anything else to eat before I go to bed. Nope.

I've found that when I am sitting in my recliner and am not doing anything productive, THAT is when I want to eat. Just like now-I want pasta, but am typing on here and my craving is slowly going away. They are really bad for about 20 minutes, but if I put my mind on something else, or have a glass of milk, they will eventually subside to a more moderate controllable urge...that I am able to ignore.

Let's hope for a good rest of the night! I have some French homework to do and a French exam tomorrow so I can stay pretty busy. Tomorrow is an easy day for me, class-wise, which turn into the hardest days when it comes to over-eating.

I am going to continue to write what I what I eat for probably another week or two and then I will start counting exact calories and letting everyone know of an exercise plan. Right now I am in the middle of intense rehearsals for the opera, Romeo and Juliette and have literally no time for the gym. Hopefully that can change in the next few weeks. Goodnight!
