South Beach Day Two
I managed to resist the urge to weigh myself today, but I feel like I must have lost about 5 pounds of water weight, just yesterday.
Last night, I had a series of vivid dreams, many involving various kinds of tension --- poor communication, people inconveniencing me, trying to buy airline tickets... and then I also had one in which I kept accidentally eating Newman's chocolate-chocolate-chip cookies. I would hand all the cookies away, and then find that I had more, or that I was eating more. I just couldn't get rid of them. The taste was very vivid. It was similar to dreams I have, every once in a while, when I suddenly realize I've been drinking mead, or vodka and coke, like I just forgot to abstain, and then I freak out.
Today, I'm finding that food preparation takes too long. But I made it through a significant challenge. My family always, always, goes out to Dunkin Donuts on Election Day. I ate some low-fat cheese* before heading out, and then had a skim milk sugar free latte, as a treat. The kids were very helpful. They chose m-n-m donuts, which frankly, just looked gross.
*Historically, I hate low-fat cheese. It is from the evil. Lo and behold my commitment, as I eat the low-fat cheese.
