Ok, I've weighed myself several times over the past two days and so it is official. I've lost 2.5 pounds this week. Despite having cake and ice cream last night and a binge on desserts at a picnic on Saturday. I think I've given enough time for the pounds to settle on me. That said does that mean I can have another piece of cake to avoid unhealthy weight loss this week? Please say yes because my husband is out of town and I may really need it!
On the plus side of weight loss this week is the surprising new craving I'm having: chewing gum. I ran out of gum and I had lots of snacks in the house but I just did not want them. I wanted my gum! I was actually going through chewing gum withdrawal. Maybe I'll start binging on gum. I find this an incredible marvel. I could have had a snack but NO I wanted GUM! I myself can not believe that I was totally uninterested in snacking on anything else. Still hard for me to believe. A nice turn on events. Also, I went to the bookstore twice and did not get a icy chai drink. Even though I get it with soy milk it is still about 130 calories so no Chai tea for my. And I didn't care! Excuse me for harping on this but truly anytime I give up a favorite food I feel like the world's biggest martyr. Poor pitiful me. I can't have iced coffee drinks with half and half in them all day long. Boohoo. But no, I had a craving for ice tea with no sugar! And I had a coffee with 2% milk and only one teaspoon of half and half. That is huge for me. And I liked it that way. Maybe the lack of food has effected my mind so much that I don't even know now that I'm 1) hungry and 2) eating nonfattening items. I've heard that people who are starving cease to have cravings and even get a strange euphoria.
ps. I did have a piece of cake and some ice cream and I don't feel guilty. Why should I. I'm doing great! Plus the cake goes in the garbage tomorrow.
pps. The cake is in the garbage and the garbage truck has picked up the trash. And for those who want to know I've lost 10.5 pounds so far. Maybe dropped 2 pant sizes. I'm worried that as I take the fitness challenge my SIL put out I will cease to lose though. Let's see how competitive I am.

The guilt of the extra cake and ice cream would wear you down, don't do it. I am so proud of you. You have loved all kind of food since you were an baby.
We thought seriously that your stop botton might be stuck, however the doctor said not to worry you were just catching up because you were supposed to be a bigger when you were born.
A lot they know at that time.
love ya
Do the math for a lazy pal: how much does that make total? Good job, and smart to throw away the rest of the cake. I finished Ethan's cake off for breakfast today, but did throw away my ice cream and topping. Maybe that balances out...
eating sugars makes you crave more sugars, so it makes sense that cutting down on sugars has cut down the cravings.
Chewing Sugarless gum is another secret weapon of Carl's.
One of my "tricks" THROW IT AWAY!!! It's gone...
How was Ben's bday? I still haven't sent his gift (or your card for that matter).
Mikey's was pretty uneventful. Kids here don't have bday party's at his age. Besides Mikey is not really one for party's (Thank you God).
