Constant Cravings

I gained a sudden four pounds before we went to Lassen, but lost six after the miles of hiking we did. I skipped dinner last night, as we were getting home late enough. I woke up nearly famished. I had the huevos rancheros with our farm eggs and fresh organic veg, which satisfied one craving. That craving was immediately replaced by one for chocolate-frosted crullers and vanilla ice cream. So then I argued with myself about the crullers and ice cream. "You've tasted those before. You know what they taste like. Isn't it nice to be losing weight? Do you want to keep skipping days, or reach your goal while you're still so very young? (yes, I stooped to flattery).  Eventually the reasonable and restrained self won the argument, only to discover that while it was arguing the other half had gotten a cupcake and nearly finished it.
