Raye's Journal, 31 March 2009

For the first time since I started the diet, I went to eat in the college cafe. I had egg salad with two large pieces of lettuce, one medium slice of tomato, and two small slices of onion. I thought I was going to have a heart attack when I came in. There was pizza, burritos, chicken pot pie, mashed potatoes, hamburgers, hot dogs, soda, sandwiches, and all sorts of other goodies.

The worst, however, was the dessert. They had chocolate peanutbutter marshmallow brownies and cups of oreo chocolate cake with chocolate pudding and whipped cream. After I ate my lunch, I stood there looking at the desserts with my heart in my stomach. I could feel my stomach clenching, I wanted some so badly. I was still hungry and wanted tons of dessert in the worst way. I walked out. After I had driven back to my apartment, I sat in my car and cried. I felt like such a child to have to tear myself away from desserts and now be crying about it. Oh well.

I went in the cafe to show myself that I could do it. That I could walk around and see all the other good stuff, and still eat healthy. On Sundays or Saturdays, I allow myself some dessert, but I want it all the time. I am thinking about going back tonight to eat in the cafe for dinner.

I keep telling myself that if I want to get down to a 2 or a 0, I have to walk away from the dessert counter and the things I love so much. Why does it hurt so much? *sigh*

Thank you to every one for all your support. Have a lovely day.

Hey you. I feel your pain! I find it actually painful to walk away from the things I love. Its super hard. But then by the time its bedtime and I think about how well I've done saying 'no' to those delicious things I feel a warm glow of comfort/pride in my tummy which is a million times nicer than the feeling I get after I've let myself indulge. Hang in there. You did fantastically today. I wouldn't go back if I were you. It would be tortureous. Just think - if you don't go, you won't see and you won't want. Go back there when you feel confident/stronger and you know you won't indulge. Why not make something really delicious at home that is low fat/calorie? Good luck xx
