Cravings and Incentives

I knew there would be times that I would rather eat something other than the food I have to eat. I also thought that I would get use to that feeling. However, that's not the case. I am pretty much always wanting something I can't have. And I want these things as soon as I'm allowed to have them. The list is kind of always changing/evolving, but as of right now here are some things that sound REALLY good:

Fried Egg on Toast
Swedish Pancakes (which I had never had until this spring while I was living with the Browns - so good!)
Pickles
Fried Egg on Toast
Tuna Fish Sandwiches
Chicken Tortellini Soup
Fried Egg on Toast
Pizza
Subs - any kind
Pumpkin Bread
Chili and cornbread
Have I mentioned a Fried Egg on Toast?

Sigh. Hopefully these cravings will be going away soon. 

On a different note, a couple of weeks ago Sara and I were talking about incentives for this weight-loss journey. She found a list of 100 possible incentives for weight-loss and it was a pretty cool list. So, as of right now, I've got two kind of incentives going. The first is I'm putting aside $1 for every pound I lose and when I'm at my goal weight I will treat myself to something real cool. Haven't decided what yet, but it'll be awesome.

The second incentive is at every 10 pounds I will treat myself to a little gift or guilty pleasure like a new Starbucks coffee mug from a city or state I don't have yet (out of town friends, let me know if you'd be willing to look for/send me one and I'll pay you back) or a new cd or something fun like that. So for my first 10 pounds, I bought myself a couple pairs of earrings from my friend Katie who has her own business called One Delightful Button. I just bought a couple of her classic button earrings in different colors. Nothing fancy, but I've wanted to get them for awhile, but just haven't nought them until now. I haven't decided what my next 10 pound incentive will be yet, but I'll keep y'all posted! If y'all have any fun ideas of something smallish, let me know!

All in.
