Lesson learned: I am not happy about today’s results. I know that its hard to get off certain "comfort" foods but still…I am not giving up! I will get my diet where it needs to be:)

You did very well today. if you cut out the chocolate and the crackers you would have a pretty good diet. Add one more meal to the mix that is small and healthy and this might keep you away from comfort food. The other thing I do is have a cheat day once a week. it must be planned! This is very important. During this cheat day you can eat the meals you craved throughout the week. This way when you get the craving you can say "I just have 3 more days to wait and I can eat that comfort food". it also allows tells your body that you are not starving and keeps the metabolic furnace chugging away. keep at it!
