Ordered a huge meal at lunch, and actually had the will power to stop halfway through and box up the rest, then ate the rest for dinner. 4 months ago, that wouldn't have happened.

Good job man, fantastic news!

Hi Hamms,

I enjoy reading your progress log, I saw that you have a fall back of dark chocolate if you really need something sweet. My equivalent is a little honey on Ryvita.

It currently is the only sweet option I will allow myself other than fruit. In reality I never binge on it like I used to when I would have cookies or ice cream or any number of other bad foods. It is easier to live with than banning everything.

The point I am making is that of having too many options/flavors being bad for us - which I think you have already discovered & are using to your advantage.

I just wanted to share best practice!

General Stuff:

Boned the wife this morning, about a 20 minute session with her. Went to a Mexican birthday party today, they had all you can eat carne asada and ice cold modelos, I almost caved in.

I decided that the only thing I am going to drink for a while is Green Tea and Water. I also was reading about how bad Olive Garden is for you (Calories per plate of food), I am running out of places to eat.

@Vulcan - I agree, I wanted to change my taste pallet to crave good foods. I usually eat a half of a dark chocolate bar when I feel the urge to eat sweets. I picked dark chocolate because it helps with controlling blood pressure.

@blink2000 - Thanks for the compliment and support.
