Yesterday and today there is this dull ache of hunger that I can't seem to shake. No food between meals and I am so hungry and disgruntled. I keep thinking that I am only about 15 pounds away from pre-pregnancy weight. But I am still hungry and craving things I can't have. I am teaching myself discipline right now. I need this. I feel like I am verging on some new clarity that I can't yet grasp.
I was thinking this morning that this is the only time in my life when this is going to work as well as it is right now. It is midwinter and the girls and I are stuck inside with the cold wind whirling around outside our 7th floor window. I don't drive, so any venturing out would involve freeza girls. So I must eat what is in the house. This might sound sad to all of you who are going to go out and get a burrito for lunch. It is a little sad, but it is also a bit of a detox for me. Poop, now I am thinking of burritos.

They say- that frustration is a sure sign of an upcoming breakthrough... I try to remember this every time I'm about to give up... EVERYthing, and Voila, there it is- an "aha" moment! And everything is easier from there... Well, until the next one. Each frustration is like piece of paper stretched tight on a frame- (think rice paper screens) It seems tough until you realize you can just poke your finger right through! Keep going girl, you ARE doing it. :)

Great job. I love how you are honest about how you are feeling while on this journey! It is nice to know other people feel that way. When I eat healthy I often feel hungry and can't stand it!
