Phase 3 and Phase 4 (eat more Phase 3 foods than phase 4 but do eat carbs and sugars in limited amounts)

The last couple of days I was hungry. Not hungry for broccoli either. All I wanted was cereal and junk food, a lot of it. I think it's hormonal since I noticed some water retention before the cravings hit in. So I ate. I even ate french fries and a frosty Tuesday. I didn't even weigh myself on Tuesday, what the hell for? I wasn't interested in dieting that day any way! So yesterday I made sure the food that I ate was better quality, no more naughty food, and I'm glad to say I'm down 2 pounds, most of it I'm sure was water. I wasn't hungry yesterday so I think the hormone spell only lasted 2 days. One thing I did different this time around was not to stress about it. I think once we begin to really stress out about the scale it makes situations worse. Dieting doesn't have to be fun but you shouldn't be completely miserable. You'll never stick with it. Self loathing and beating yourself off because you decided to eat a piece of cheese cake or even the whole cheese cake isn't productive either. I hated when coaches in school made you run laps as punishment for coming in last. Even til this day, I HATE RUNNING. I don't want to hate dieting or living a healthy live style. So as long as you keep up good habits overall and not stress about the chocolate that attacks you and jumps into your mouth you'll be much happier.
