Strangest dreams so far. I kidnapped a 3 legged baby pony, so I could take care of it, and love it. And then I was sitting at Starbucks, and sipping ALL.THE.SWEET.YUMMY.DRINKS. So that was my first big dream craving. Starbucks. I kinda miss it. 

Also. I was pretty upset, because I had done quite a bit of research so I could eat at panera in between my training at the pregnancy center and street ministry. I was going to order off the secret menu, the power steak lettuce wraps, without the pesto. I ordered, and they told me that had been discontinued. So I looked up ingredients on everything else. Really couldn't have anything else. The chicken has sugar in it, making it not compliant, and the eggs for the salad have a long list of additives. Not interested. So I got chipotle for dinner. I know I'm eating a pretty restrictive diet, so I can't eat much, but I'm not a fan of everything having junk in it. Argh.

I dreamed ALL ABOUT chocolate, popcorn, and soda. I went to the movies with my family in a dream, and bought stock piles extra of junk food. It's so funny. My body is letting go of the need for it, but subconsciously, my mind is still wanting it. Haven't cheated, and don't intend to. Plus I feel guilty when I wake up. I don't want to start over for real.

The only thing I wanted today was chocolate. Not sure if it's because it's valentines day, my hormones are demanding it, my body misses it, or I've been watching everyone else eat it... But I didn't have any. 

2 weeks down. Clothes are suddenly fitting so much better. I have a lot more energy. I wake up before my alarm, and feel refreshed. Y'all this is amazing.
