Leftover mixed fajitas, 1/2 a chicken breast and rice from ‘no peek chicken and rice’. Surprisingly the rice is what I consider low cal for the amount I was able to eat. While high in carbs it was a filling meal and fairly low cal. About 800 today so I get a snack later. Do I want the snickers I’ve been saving for a day I am under 1000 and satisfied? Do I want a rice crispy treat or other snack? Or do I want to be happy with the amount of calories I’ve eaten. Will see what my body tells me in the next hour or two. I’m over for the week so not eating a snack is the best option for sure. I’m starting to obsess over junk food again because I haven’t had much. I don’t consider rice crispy treats junk food. I HAVE to have one snack a day that’s not healthy or I won’t be able to stick to a healthier eating plan. Splenda really helps me kick most of my junk cravings but not all. Today I had a small 1oz bag of chips and a few gobstoppers(help me not to smoke as much) along with the cup of rice. Pretty sure that’s why I’m not having major cravings tonight. Plus I’ve taken to not giving into my cravings. I have to wait an hour or a day or a week... then I can have it. Immediate gratification just means I’ll crave it more and give in more. My stubbornness is finally helping me lol.
