Day 50

Really, it's day 50 already? Despite the dieting, time has gone by so fast. You would barely even realize it's Been 50 days.
The scale did move, but I did weigh in a little earlier then I normally do that day. So today, weighing in at my usual time, the scale read 135.2. I am assuming that the changes in water retention may be responsible. I've been attempting to be stricter on the diet with myself. Lately, I have been wandering a little. Feeling a bit, less dedicated, if you will. My biggest problem is eating out. My friend are all making fall/winter plans and are leaving or something to that effect. So, I've been getting in a few "pho Tuesday's" (so called because, during school we went out for a five dollar lunch on tuesdays, not always pho, but frequently it was) I only had the salty soup once, other then that, I've been dining more at our favorite sushi place, with some sashimi and a bowl of miso soup. The worst one is the chicken wings. A pound of wings at Boston pizza or a brew house, four times in the last two weeks! They're not breaded, of course, but they are deep fried and they come with celery! So even on a protien day I am tempted by my burning mouth to eat the cool refreshing slices of celery!

What else do I do that is naughty? (or what I think has slowed the weight loss)
Silhouette non fat, no sugar added yogurt one of these a day. For some variety in my diet.
Almonds. I'm not even supposed to have almonds. And I have. I have had a small handful even. Though, this is not a recurring craving.

Well, these are my most serious transgressions, aside from the fact that I don't eat that galette everyday.

I feel as though I've strayed away from the strictness of the diet and I can see it's affect from the slowness of the weight loss. I am curious as to whether or not I am even on schedule, will I make my October goal. 80 days total, so I have 30 to lose the last 15 pounds? Im anxious about that...
What if I need more time? I should be more strict with myself, but it's hard! Sometimes I just get a craving to nibble! Do you know how much gum I have gone through on this diet? A lot. What would i do without it? I would be snacking all the time. I need to get back to the three square meals a day, meals that are filling and keep me satisfied so I don't go looking for a snack!
