Day one-forty-nine...

I've been doing good, Masha'Allah! I have been drinking my shakes for breakfast and lunch everyday and having a nice dinner each evening. I have been trying to pay attention to my portions and try to manage them. It hasn't been exactly easy... Ive been struggling with a huge urge to snack and mostly with the desire for sweets. Thankfully, we haven't had too many things around to munch on lately. But, Haylah did make a cake that I was pleased that I was able to resist. I allowed myself a tiny( and I actually mean tiny) piece of that. I was pleased because when I decided to have some cake, there was only one slice left. It was a normal sized slice that I would have gladly eaten before. I resisted the maddening urge to indulge and cut a small sliver off and ate that instead of the larger piece. I found that if I add extra ice to my shakes while they are in the blender then it comes out kinda like ice cream and that really help with my extreme sweet tooth :) I have been pretty hungry at times and I have tried to curb it in healthier ways like an apple or maybe just an egg. I will do better though, insha'Allah... I am gonna do this right, insha'Allah! May Allah make it easier on me... ahmeen.
