View MOUGHI's food & exercise for this day
I couldn't sleep so I had this urge to get up and eat. Well my sponsor said the next time I felt like binging on food to call her unless it's 1 am in the morning. 
I don't think she would like a call right now, so I'm doing this instead, writing my blog. It will be a little short one one as the urge to eat is actually beginning to fade and my body is finally beginning to get tired again. I don't know why lately I have had this desire to eat eat eat, but I have. I know one thing, I have felt a lot of temptation lately to buy things I have not eaten in over year and have given up. I know this is due to the season and not my body actually craving these foods. It's probably due to advertising and the good old American commercial industry trying to make certain foods look comforting, and comfort sounds good to right now. So, I am trying to come up with foods that will comfort me that are good for me that I can eat that are on my diet plan that I am not tired of. One I came up with is Soy hot chocolate made from powdered Soy Milk, granular Splenda, Cocoa. My formula was 2 tablespoons of each for every 8 oz-10 oz. The result was a wonderful cup of hot cocoa I can have ready at any time and store in my pantry. I didn't know they made powdered Soy milk until the other day when I came across it at Whole Foods. The stuff was actually pretty good tasting. In fact it was a lot better than powdered milk is. This is cool because there are alot of recipes that I know of that i can use to substitute this in. Ok, now I am heading off to bed. The urge to eat has past and I think i can get back to bed without eating on something. Good night.

Good job getting past the craving.
:thumbu2: Comfort foods is an interesting subject - it's different for a lot of people, I guess because of the associations people make with the food. Do you have a milk allergy? --- I noticed you have lot of soy products.

Hi, Lory, I'm back again. I find that my appetites switch with the season change and I want more substantial food. How about soups, too? I love tomato soup made with lowfat milk.The hot chocolate sounds like the perfect fix for sweets urges. Stay away from womens' magazines, because this time of year EVERYTHING is food, food, food. And there's always the remote to change the channel when the food commercials come on TV. Though I notice now that they time the commercials to hit at the same time so you can't change channels to avoid them! What's with that?! Sorry you are having a struggle with food, but try to identify what you're craving and work it in, as you have been doing. You'll get through this.

I am glad your blog was able to get you past that urge to eat. I actually experienced this for the first time (EVER) a few nights ago...woke up, extremely hungry. I should have had a glass of water in hindsight, but I actually ate a handful of raisins before I felt like I got a hold of myself. It was crazy that I was convinced I was hungry. I am glad you got through it ok. Soy milk. Something I want to like but can't seem to -- acquired taste? I will blog about the game, but as for the restaurant thing....I feel like there is always SOME healthy option, so I definitely don't avoid it.

Morning Lory! Your hot chocolate sounds yummy! It just seems so unfair that we have to do all this planning, exercising, and mental preparation to be successful. Oh well, just the way it is. It is goof knowing you are not the only one suffering through this LOL. Basics are the key and planning is the skeleton key of everything. I feel so much better knowing I have my day figuered out. I do not need to fear screwing up, over eating because I just do what the card says. I even worked in a snackl after work since I always want to eat when I come home at midnight.
