Yesterday was awful....proof that sugar is evil

Started out with egg beaters, lots of onion, lots of portabella mushrooms

Then, at around 10am, I ate some halloween candy at the office.
then ate more.
didn't even enjoy it, seriously, but craved it at the same time.

the slide was that I was ravenous the rest of the day, and "good" foods would not satisfy the hunger.

apple
dr. kracker w/ cottage cheese

on the way home, I stopped and got fast food.
oh god I can't even say what it was.

funny thing, my weight dropped a pound.
I think my body is disgusted with itself and is trying to get away from me.

Hey, it happens. Today is a new day. The other day a guy from my office offered me a Reese's. He thought he was being oh so funny. I told him I'd hit him with the 100 pounds I've lost. He backed away after that.

Sneaky apple onion salad?

Details!

Sneaky Apple Onion Salad
Sneaky because the flavors are wild, but they work together.
10 Minutes to Prepare and Cook

Ingredients
Apples, fresh, 1 medium (2-3/4" dia) (I prefer Gala apples; just make sure it's sweet -- don't use a Granny Smith for this)
Onions, raw, 1 medium (2-1/2" dia) (I prefer vidalias)
Red Ripe Tomatoes, 1/2 cup, rough chopped (grape tomatoes are good)
Balsamic Vinegar, 2 tbsp
Cilantro, raw, 2 tbsp (rough chopped or torn)
Cumin seed, 2 tsp

Directions
Rough chop the vegetables and add them to a container. Add the spices and the vinegar. Cover the bowl tightly and shake vigorously.
Makes 8 servings if you're eating it as a relish. You could eat it as a regular salad, too. Hint: it gets better the longer it marinates, so the second day is better than the first.

Jespah, congratulations on thinking of what used to be called "A Perfect Squelch." I laughed out loud and felt such pride for you. You rock.

No one asked for any advice but I am never shy about shooting my mouth off about my little methods of doing or not doing something.
My boss keeps chocolate in his desk. He told me a long time ago that it was okay with him to have some anytime. (Thanks. ) What I noticed one day was that if I had a thought about going upstairs to his office to get some that if I waited just a few minutes... (at the start it was about five minutes which seemed like a very long time.... ) the thought, the desire, the impulse would just go away.
poof.
It takes a thought process. I have to say to myself, "Oh, yeah, that sounds good, but I think I will wait awhile." When the thought strikes again, about 30 seconds later, (like toast popping up from the toaster.) I say, "um, no, still waiting a bit." And I am very calm about it. I am. very. calm.
It works in the Starbucks line as I am waiting for my Grande staring at the Blueberry Scones... I reckon 'no scones' is good for about 30 of the 70 pounds I've lost.
Anyway, good luck all.

Thanks. I think the cravings thing needs to be stopped by spending some time. It's an instant gratification thing, so if you have to put it off, it loses its power.
