The sugar cravings lasted three days, during which I had a dream that a doctor told me that if I didn't eat the things my body was craving, I would die the next time my period started. It was seriously weird. I'll definitely bring it up with the program behaviorist on Thursday and my psychiatrist next week.
It is possible that there are times when our bodies need things that we normally consider "bad" for us? I only gained two pounds from my splurges, and they came off overnight after a single day of sticking to my program again. I feel like, somehow, this has something to do with the cravings themselves, but I'm not sure how. I'm just relieved that they're over.
I'm setting a new mini-goal for myself. Every year I host an Academy Awards party, and I would love to be down to 207 by February 24th. That's a pretty ambitious goal (about three pounds a week), but it would feel so great. My aunt and uncle always come, and they haven't seen me since my sister's wedding in July. How fun would it be to answer the door fifty pounds lighter than the last time they saw me?
Obviously, sticking to my program is going to be important. It's time I started exercising without over-exerting myself, too, so as soon and I'm done writing this I'm going to put on my running shoes, tie my hair back, and walk slowly on the treadmill for ten minutes. Then maybe some gentle yoga. It's a small start, but it's a start.
