Day 24 carb free, weigh in #3

Last week was horrible. I craved bread things SO badly! I was miserable. Yes, we have had delicious food, but there's still something missing that just doesn't leave me satisfied. I did not, however, cheat! I did have one pre-planned piece of cake for my dd's eighth birthday. That's not cheating She wanted a chocolate cake with peanut butter icing in the shape of an eight. So I spent a lot of time making two cakes, freezing them, cutting out the circles, mixing frosting and carefully spreading it on an 8; not as easy as just smearing it on a big rectangle. All that and I didn't eat any cake until the last night we had it. Sunday night I was sick and I just wanted ice cream. Dh wouldn't let me. Meanie.

No pain, no gain, right? So guess what my week of misery got me... one less pound on my body. ONE! That's it!!! Is my body in protest? You know what else? I'm not even hungry. I'm not eating as much. I'm not eating foods full of fat like eggs, bacon, fat meat, butter... I have been eating more nuts, but not that many I don't think. It stinks not being hungry in a way. I want to eat... something. I'm just not in the mood for anything now. Last week I wanted bagels and muffins, but this week it's nothing. Dh struggles, too. It's the same thing about not being satisfied even when we're full. We LIKE to eat. We LIKE the taste of food. He likes sweets. I like bread.

Ugh. I can tell there are thinner parts of me though. I can cross my legs better. My fingers are thinner. My face is thinner... and of course my b**bs are smaller. That's always the first to go.

My mom is coming for a 1.5 week visit tomorrow night. We will be going to some restaurants while she is here. Dh & I plan on eating reasonably while out, but sticking to the no carbs when home. Our 30 days is over next Tuesday; one day before ds turns one. Oh, I've got to wrap his presents! Whoo how time flies.

I may not be checking back in for a few weeks, since Mom will be here.

I do know that when we go out to the restaurants I will not eat the carbs as much as I did before. I really feel I'm going to have my fill of them with less than I did before.
