I did some more reading on the those forums, and a few people suggested having a "cheat day" to get the weight loss going again. After 2 weeks without any sugar or bread, that was all the excuse I needed to be bad…

I caved easily and ordered a pizza! My husband had pepperoni and sausage on his half, I had my half with no cheese (I don't eat it) and mushrooms and green peppers. I ate my whole half, and enjoyed every bite! Then I ate a chocolate pop tart! Real chocolate with real sugar! I figured if I was going to be bad, I may as well be really bad

I do not feel guilty. I'm not weighing myself today. I will give it a couple of days to see if things even out. I planned on extending phase 1. I had already lost 7 lbs, but after binging it will be like starting over.

It's back to the strict diet this morning. I made a salad yesterday, and cooked up a batch of turkey bacon. I defrosted a pork tenderloin that we will be having for dinner tonight. I'll likely be having broccoli with it, but there is leftover rice pilaf in the fridge for my husband.
