Anger is not fun, but makes me less hungry

Today, for reasons I won't mention here, I spent the majority of the day frustrated, angry and used. As it turns out, feeling this way, although not fun at all, doesn't make me hungry. In fact, I didn't feel like eating all day today because I was to busy being frustrated and running around like a crazy person. So, we can rule out anger / frustration as a cause to my overeating problem. In fact, I only ate half my points today, which is not good because that means I am not getting the nutrients my body needs. I have a sneaking suspicsion that my overeating problems come from being happy / comfortable.

On a lighter note, i've recently bought a whole whack of fresh herbs and planted them in cute individual pots next to my balcony window. They have definitly inspired me to do some fresh cooking (something that I've been avoiding since I started losing weight because of my lack of interest in cooking.) But today, I made an individual-sized pizza with fresh spinach and basil topped with two of those cute babybel cheeses and it was only 8.5 points. I was so pleased with myself that I had made something so yummy, fresh and low in points value. I can't wait to do more with all my awesome fresh herbs. It's going to be a fun next two weeks.

Lastly, tonight was my weigh in and.... drumroll please... 225! 8 pounds! I'm thrilled. There goes that bowling ball i've been carrying around with me on my body. Very much looking forward to the 10 pounnd mark. It really can't come soon enough. It feels like Christmas is a week away and the 10 pound mark is wrapped under the tree. I know it's there, but I can't get it for another week. Sigh...
