TGIF

My interview yesterday went well, although I didn't feel I expressed my full potential, I was nervous. My stomach was in knots so I couldn't really eat before I left.  After the interview I stopped for a carnitas taco and a few chips.  I had Chinese takeout for dinner (no rice, no chowmein - steamed veggies, pork and chicken).  But later I had a grilled cheese sandwich and the outside of 4 oreo cookies.  NOW... the difference is this, I felt okay eating it.  There was no guilt, no self-loathing.  I accepted that I was going to eat this and then jump back on to my eating plan today.  I know the cravings were stress and emotional and not the normal pattern for me any longer. I don't want to be that girl.  Today my outlook is strong, eating plan in place, and very positive.  I'm still looking forward (yep, I said it) to stepping on the scale tomorrow and seeing the results of the week (and it's been a tough one).

Good job Socal. I am proud of you. That is exactly what you have to do-no guilt. As soon as you start to feel guilty, you eat more. Wow, your life and eating habits have changed. I am super-duper proud of you. Have you gone back and looked at your journal entries? I have and I notice the change. You are rockin\'! Keep it up. What am I talking about? I know you will. Why? \'Cause you\'re the best!
