I've read before (sorry, I can't point to where, but I've seen it more than once) that a woman should start a diet after her "time of the month" and never before. Just better to let the hormones work for you, rather than against you.
Yet, here I find myself, deep in the throes of PMS, and trying to start back on that Rapid Start Plan again. It's not going so well.
I had raisin bran and coffee for breakfast. A big salad, with only two tablespoons of dressing, for lunch. A cup of light yogurt for a snack. And then...a cookie.
But then, baked tilapia, cold slaw with low calorie dressing, and fat free baked beans for supper. And then...a cookie.
R must be hormonal as well, because he followed me into the kitchen and promptly ate seven miniature Reese's cups. But then he ate some grapes. And when I commented that we weren't doing so well on our diet, he said, "Hey, at least I'm eating fruit."
All in all, I figure the majority of our choices today were healthy. I know we got more vegetables in than we would have on a typical day. I'm calling it a win, given the timing.

Yay for veggies!
Hey, several years ago, I did the Weight Watchers program. Really loved it. You know what I did at night when I felt like treats.....microwave popcorn(the light kind), I'd eat the whole bag. And diet hot cocoa when I was craving chocolate. We also made pudding pie with sugar free pudding and light graham cracker crust. I just always had some treats around that could get me through those times...I hated going to bed starving!
It sounds like you are doing great!

Don't think of it as a diet, think of it as a lifestyle change to improve your health for the long haul!
It's always toughest in that week before. The treats, whether they are in the house or not, call to me. I feel your pain.
Sounds like you did better than you think though. You made good food choices, and two cookies is better than the whole bag. :-)
