Accountability Journal

Last night I really wanted a sweet snack.

Really, really badly.

I had already gone over my calorie count for the day and had even given myself a special treat (a milkshake) with my dinner. 

I knew I didn't need it.  I simply wanted it.

It didn't help that my newborn thought that bedtime was optional and I was up until past 3 a.m.  I am sure it was part boredom, part exhaustion.

Nevertheless, I made it through. It helped to know that I was going to make myself accountable here today and in my food log.  I drank a lot of water and chewed some gum and waited for the craving to go away.

One choice at a time.

Good for you! I remember when I was pregnant with Bella and I'm up a lot in the middle of the night when I'm pregnant. (more so than when I actually have a new born.) And since I had the gestational diabetes to force my self control I often ate a a piece of bread or if I'm all out of calories half a bag of baby carrots just to have something to gnaw on until the craving passes. You're doing great. <3
