Food, Glorious Food ...

For those of you who might be wondering, I did indeed go to A&W today. I had figured out how to fit it in, only delving a bit into my flexpoints, and so, I went. Sadly, I don't think it was a coincidence that within an hour I felt quite ill, and had a headache suddenly "bloom" in my right temple. I said, "Maybe it was the MSG," to which Doug replied, "I think it was the A&W." I looked at him and said, "Well, maybe I'll just swear off all the letters of the alphabet to be safe."

I personally think it may have been the onion rings. In a month or so, if I decide to go to A&W again, I'll get just the burger and see. The onion rings didn't seem to be as good as I remembered them, anyway.

Doug is a man of many thoughts and few words, so when, out of the blue, he said, "You seem more determined this time," I grabbed onto those words for all they were worth. I agreed that it's still early yet, and that I've bailed on this much later in the game before, but it's really great that he can see a difference in my attitude this time. I feel different, but having someone else agree with me is nice back-up.

Having said that, I've got the absolute worst case of the munchies right now. Let's just say it's a good thing that bag of Doritos is long gone, because I'd be making short work of it. I'm trying to forget that I have one bag of popcorn left, and trying to forget the bag of Salsa Ranch Crispy Tortillas (corn-rice chips) that is down there.

Even though I think I may be genuinely hungry, I already used 6 flexpoints today. I could have avoided delving that deeply by ignoring my oils, but I try not to do that. I try really hard to get in all of my water, veggies, milk and oils each day. Today's WW topic was "doing your best" vs. "doing what's required". If I can do what's required without having a complete and total meltdown, then that's what I'm striving for.

Breakfast, however, can't come soon enough.
