Let the Cravings Commence (Day 2)

I have to say, today was tough too. But on the up-side, my curiosity forced me to weigh myself already.
I had class today, and normally at the half-way point, I go to the soup counter at school and get a snack. Well, I couldn’t. I had to wait until I got home to have lunch. Unfortunately, my diet did not stop my classmates from grabbing all sorts of delicious snacks, from soup, to candy, to chips, to croissants. All the delicious things that I have over-indulged in for far too long. I was having such strong cravings that I can’t tell you how many times I envisioned myself hitting the McDonald’s drive-through on the way home. Besides, no one would no right?
I really exercised my will-power turning down the easy way, and staying committed to my diet today. This morning has allowed for me to identify class as a big challenge for me.
When I FINALLY arrived home to eat, I tried the Three-Cheese and Herb Omelet for lunch and was happily surprised to discover that it was very tasty. I will admit that I was concerned that powered-food would be absolutely abysmal, but I have (so-far) been proven wrong. I chopped up some green peppers and added them to the omelet. I also peeled and sliced a cucumber and had that on the side. I was full and satisfied, success.
Dinner was also delicious, my boyfriend barbequed small lean steak (5 oz.) and we had lettuce and cucumber. I also made a delicious, homemade Italian dressing that made salad much more enjoyable. Needless to say, following my class, my day greatly improved.
