I had a strong craving for cheese and pizza on Sunday. It got to the point where I was planning out how to make home made pizza with cheddar cheese I planned on buying from Costco. I made spaghetti instead, with about 12 ounces of ground turkey, and the cravings went away.

If I gave into every craving, I would never lose weight. I’ve got to try to work these things out somehow. I believe that if I went whole hog and stayed completely away from all bad foods, I would eventually binge and regain the weight.

My plan is to buy a package of small pieces of cheese and have one a day, to alleviate cravings. There are two ends of a spectrum, eating too many junk foods and staying completely away from them. There has to be a happy medium.

I woke up 2.2 pounds heavier on Monday compared to my record low on Saturday, so I need to try to get back on track.

Update: I went shopping and bought a package of rectangles of Tillamook mild cheddar cheese at Costco, and overdid it with them for several days. On Thursday, I finally cut down to having two with dinner, so I made progress. My weight was 276 pounds on Thursday morning, and Friday morning I got down to 275.6 pounds.
