WEEK 7 -- DAY 45 -- WHEN I'M GOOD, I'M VERY GOOD

But when I'm bad, I'm even worse.  Today was one of those days.....Valentine's Day as well.

This seems to be the exact same period of time when it happened to me in 2010. It must be that I can go six weeks or so with being good and then sometime during the seventh week, I crack.  Today I cracked.  And it's not even that I went so crazy eating junk. That wasn't the case at all.  I've been starving myself to win that Diet Bet Challenge and I was craving FOOD.

I stopped at the store on my way home today and was checking out the prepared food counter.  The had some chicken marsala with mashed potatoes and I was craving it.  So I got two small pieces of chicken and an order of mashed potatoes.  I also made some corn and ended up eating the entire thing.  My husband was out of town today but had left me a small box of candy before he left.....even he doesn't know I'm on a diet.  So I had three pieces of the candy as well.  I can't remember the last time I had candy.  For someone who used to eat almost a pound a day, this is quite an accomplishment.  And especially the fact that I only ate three pieces is amazing.  So a bad day overall but certainly not disasterous.  At least I'm still blogging about it.

EDIT:  I just thought of something else I did today at about 9PM.....I decided to have some onion dip and chips.  You know you're being really bad when you do something like this.  As Scarlet O'Hara once said, "I'll worry about that tomorrow."
