Day 22

Yesterday... I faulted!

Believe it or not, I completely forgot to eat lunch! And of course, when I left from work at 10:40 PM, I was starving to death! I also was sooooo tired that didn't want to cook anything, not even go to the little effort of making myself a protein shake! Not that I thought it would satisfy me!!!

On my way home I even saw chicken hamburgers from McDonald's, kebabs, french fries, pastrami sandwiches (not that they have any of those here in Spain!! No Pastrami here!!!!!!) platters filled with fried eggs and bacon, etc... all of it hanging from imaginary threads, floating over my head as I was walking the streets! I was obsessed by it! Tempted beyond believe! Mortified to the point that ,when I was already on my street, and far away from the McDonald's of the world, I saw the Mexican place just across from where I live! I have only been once to that place, and that was last year! I don't really care for Mexican that bad either! Cause Mexican food here, is not as good as it is in the States! Not enough Mexicans living here, I guess! lol

The thing is: I did like the chicken, crossed the street, and got run over by "the truck of self indulgence"!

Chicken Enchiladas is the truck driver's name!

As of last Thursday, I had lost 19 lbs.!!! Now I am afraid of tomorrow... Scale day again!!! And don't think I will do as well, as I did last week! I am afraid it will go up again, instead of going down.

I know the first couple of weeks it's when you loose the most, and then you kinda stall a little... And that is why you have to stick to the plan and not go stray into food alleys! Cause straying is the easiest thing ever! I experienced it last night. And this morning I woke up... well, not feeling too guilty, as a matter of fact! But really disappointed at myself, and what is even worst... swollen! I guess my body did really adjust well to the new food intake, and now is resenting the sodium input from last night!

Today I have a mission: Have a healthy Tofu lunch, and take at least 2 bottles of my special water!!! We'll see how it turns out tomorrow, when I step up on the scale of shame!
