Not a good food day...

Here's my point...with all the success, I'm not into eating. I know I NEED to eat but nothing is looking good except the stuff that is crazy taboo (cookies, fries). Don't worry, I'm not caving (dh ate the last cookie and I'm not getting in the car just to get fast food). I made a chicken salad with mayo and relish and couldn't eat it. I searched for SOMETHING to eat with no luck. We'll be having salmon and mashed cauliflower tonight so I'm looking forward to that. I know how important is it to eat so your body doesn't burn muscle which is why I made myself eat a piece of provolone cheese with lunch meat (not low fat but I was in a pinch;)
Anyone else get in these ruts and what do you do when you don't have an appetite for anything?

Any help out there? I'm not falling off the wagon. I've been doing this since 9/8. It must be the rain or the time change throwing things off.

It's drizzly/dreary here, too.

Congrats on getting below your prepreg weight--what a great accomplishment!
Regarding your question: What phase are you in? I has the no-appetite problem a lot toward the end of P1 and occassionally on P2 (and P3!). You're right, though, we need to eat, especially those of us who exercise regularly.
Here's what I do when nothing "legal" is terribly inspiring...I figure out what I would just *love* to have. Maybe it's a glass of chardonnay and some cheese; maybe it's onion rings; maybe it's mac'n'cheese. Then, I have it (and I enjoy every second of it). Usually, an hour or two after I've indulged, I feel like crap. :-P And then I'm back to craving the legal stuff again.
Anyway, it sounds like you're doing awesome; good luck on the half marathon!

BTW, I'm in P2-3...depending on the day:)
