SCORE!

Yesterday afternoon, I could feel that famished feeling coming on, where I've eaten "clean" for too long and part of me is asking for starchy stuff.  I had already decided that staying on plan was not negotiable, so I went ahead and ate some things, but weighed them and counted them.  I ended up having a serving of my homemade blueberry cake, and two servings (2 oz) of pretzels.  That came to 9 pointsplus.  I  stopped after the first serving of pretzels but still didn't feel satisfied, so I had one more.  Lo and behold, before I finished the second serving, I quit automatically reaching for them!   I realized that I had been "satisfied" and had subconsciously quite reaching for them. I was surprised there were still a few left when I looked over.

I finished out the day within my allowed points and I am thrilled to learn it's possible to acknowledge the craving and satisfy it WITHOUT eating everything.  Not saying I can repeat this performance, but at least I know it's possible.
