This weekend was a disaster. I'd blame it all on my host family and their amazing food, but I knew I would have to put my carb pants on when I started planning my visit to them. And none of them forced me to buy that Big Mac before I returned to Haivoron. It's just that, when I go to Kiev, I feel like I need to take full advantage of all the food options not available to me in my village. Either way, I feel gross today! Surprise. Treating yourself on occasion is fine... But these mad rushes to eat everything in sight on cheat days have got to go. I'm working on ways to creatively appease my cravings in a healthy way. It is hard in a country without the array of diet-food options America has, but I'm learning. Like baked cheese chips? Now there's a low carb snack I can support. And I made some pretty awesome No-Flour Banana pancakes today, which were sweet and delicious. I bought a sweet pan, too, that's going to make cooking a lot easier. And my oven will be here in a couple days! So many exciting things in regards to cooking... So all I need to do is find a chocolate without carbs, and I'll be good! Hey... a gal can dream.

Now that I'm reaching the second week of my diet, I can feel my will weakening. My cravings are insane. I haven't given into them yet, but it's getting really hard. I'm just not used to denying myself. But that's part of the whole point of this... To learn a little self control. I don't want food to become an evil, either. I've promised that after I've achieved my goal weight, I can snack again... Responsibly, of course, lest this all be for nothing. The hardest part is the fact that I can't really get creative and satisfy my sweet-tooth in a healthy way. There just aren't any sugar substitutes in Ukraine. At least not that I've found. And don't even get me started on chips. And it doesn't help that work is building. I was always a stress-eater. I gotta stay strong, and remind myself that I DO feel better. And that I don't have to escape into food to distract myself.
