I want chocolate

I have been doing SO good - so good.... but today - I really want a chocolate bar.
I live around the corner from a 7-11.. and I think the only thing keeping me from going to grab some is the fact that there is plenty of snow out there, it's cold...... and I am on some serious pain medication here.
So what do I do?
I need the "real" stuff too... like ummm.... a 3 musketer or an oh'Henry... sorry if I am makin' ya'll hungry... but I don't know where this is coming from all the sudden.
It's just it is my second day on Phase 2 and I don't think that I am doing as well as I though... I am thinking that maybe I am eatting too much.
here is what I ate today:
B:Shreddies with 1% milk (I know shreddies aren't SB friendly - but I only like two cereals... shreddies and raisin bran... so I figure i'd go with the ones with less sugar)
and a yogurt (I use VERY little milk on my cereal)
S: Apple and 4 cashews
L: a chicken fajita (it was yucky) and a salad - with a coffee
D: roast beef with steamed broccoli (YUM!) and a salad
Then I had another yogurt and 1/2 a cup of mango (it was probably less then that)
Is this too much? Have I been to bad??

I'm Queenie. I am new here. I had my first full day today :) I did pretty well. I posted my success a bit too soon, because I caught myself doing what got me where I am today (50 over) stuffing a small left over bite of doughnut that was left on my toddlers plate into my mouth...EEKS! But I didn't sweat it. I had a VERY bad craving for chocolate. This is how I answered it. Homemade hot cocoa. I took one serving of milk, which I still had coming to me, unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 1/2 packets equal. heat thoroughly on stove. YUM! Sweet tasting, chocolatey, and warm! NOW THATS COMFORT! Just thought I'd share that tip with you. Take care!
Queenie :)
Spunky I'm guessing it's the shreddies... you are on day 2 of phase 2... too soon to stray from the foods-to-enjoy list I'm afraid.
Susan :)
Hi Spunky,
I agree with Susan that starting the morning with a non-SBD friendly cereal will kick the cravings off first thing.
Spunky, here you go --
Starting Phase 2 - Two Ways:
Hi Spunky,
Maggie and Susan have already steered you in the right direction.
It funny.... I didn't go back online after I posted that message - well i did.. but there were no responses.... and I will just confess now.. I ate chocolate - real chocolate.
And I have to agree with all of you - I added P2 food too much too soon - and I have corrected that today (1 piece of multi-grain bread and a yogurt this morning - but thats all today).
I think near the end of Phase 1 I was looking to forward to breads and fruit that I let it get the better of me. But the important thing is that I have picked myself back up and I am getting right back on track.
I am going to check the P2 cereals again - though I am not a cereal person.... and lots of them I have never heard of or seen before - like what is Uncle Sams??
Anyways..... thank you for all your support - just wanted to let you all know that I am back on track!!!!!

PS - the chocolate tasted really good - but I definitly don't need it again for a LONG time! lol
OH and out of curiosity .... my mom told me it would be ok for me to drink 1% chocolate milk.... is that true?
Hi Spunky,
Glad you are back on track today.
Actually the thing about the chocolate milk is just to get my dairy in! lol
I don't like the taste of regular milk - or soy milk (I am also lactose intolerant, I take a pill so I can drink the milk.....)
This is the nutritional information I found on the net about 1% chocolate milk:
For an 8oz glass:
200 cals
3 g fat
2 g sat fat
32 g carbs
11g protein
This isn't the kind of milk I would buy...... it was the only info I could find on the net though... just curious.
Maybe I will attempt the soy chocolate milk again - anyone know of a really good brand? I can't remember the one I tried last time.. but I wasn't a fan - weird after taste.
Thanks!

Spunky,
This seems very high in calories and fat.
(((Hugs Spunky))) I went a little overboard on my first day of Phase 2 as well. It didn't cause any huge cravings but it did make me over eat a bit I think. Also, I think it is great that you could admit that you had the chocolate and are now ready to move forward. So many times when I do something not exactly legal I'm tempted to gloss over it but I think if we do that we take the risk of denying it to ourselves as well. The important thing is to be accountable and aware. :o) Also, it is great that you are getting right back on track! I too am determined to take it MUCH more slowly today. :o)
(P.S. I tried the Uncle Sam's cereal yesterday and it wasn't bad! I had to add a few packets of Splenda but other than that it tasted a little like Total to me. The flaxseeds did get stuck in my teeth a bit though. lol I think I might try the mixed berry one next. :o))
