So yesterday being a PP day, I knew going into today's weigh-in I was going to lose zero weight.  It seems to be a recurring theme in my weight loss journey. 

I was sitting alone, at home, watching recorded episodes of the new series Bachelor Pad (AMAZING!) & Dating in the Dark (So happy it came back for another season).  I all of a sudden got a ridiculous urge to eat something reallllly bad.  I hadn't had this urge really ever since getting past the first couple of days of the diet.

Let me explain something to you.  I do our grocery shopping, and I don't feel it is fair to neglect the BF of our usual favourite foods, so when this craving hit, I open up all sources of our food cupboards - Pantry, cupboards & fridge.  Fridge lead me nowhere & the only thing in the cupboards I really wanted were croutons but decided against.  Then, the pantry.  Top shelf - Pasta, 2nd Shelf - Cereals, Third Shelf.....Doritos, Nibs, BBQ Lay's, Trail Mix...the list goes on.  This is basically our 'snack shelf', and the go to shelf when we have company over and want to put something out.  I swear to you I could have eaten a whole flipping bag of dorito's at that point, I just wanted something bad in my mouth.  So I weighed my options, opened the Trail mix bag, skipped past the M&M's and Raisins and took 4 almonds. 

The first almond was like heaven, it was as if it was EXACTLY what I needed to get through that moment, then I decided for the next 3 I would savour them.  I took little nibbles, and they lasted me about 5 minutes (compared to 5 seconds), and I was totally fine after that.  I was really interested to see if I was going to have a weight gain this morning and I did not.  Had I gone for the Dorito's I am sure it would be a different story, but to date, I have yet to gain any weight on The Dukan Diet & I am glad I stuck through it yesterday.  God those almonds were heavenly.

This makes me question if I am starting to break down.  Am I really going to be able to go 3 months without any HUGE transgressions?  Will my mind start playing tricks and telling me that I need to eat these foods like it did last night?  I am beginning to become worried that I am going to get sick of the Dukan.  Brain, the blogger, he did really well the first 6 weeks, and then after that, I felt like his transgressions become more and more frequent, so I really hope I can stick through it.

Hopefully since weight loss was zip today, I will be able to pull a decent number tomorrow.  I need to get some asparagus for dinner.

p.s. my exercise thoughts fizzled away & I didn't make it...haha go figure.
