    Im right there with you- I went to the farmers market and picked up some of the most amazing oranges (and a pomello). They are so sweet and delish. It makes me happy (although I still have trouble turning away from lemon bars/cakes)

    I just made my "midnight snack". Just a tablespoon plain nonfat yogurt, couple of chopped dried plums (we used to call them prunes), and a couple of blueberries. I'm letting it sit a few minutes so the the plums sweeten up the yogurt a bit...I can't wait! Just enough for a good night's sleep.

    you know this lifestyle is working when;

    - You sit down at night and feel completely lost until you realise you haven't done the days half hour on the exercise bike, do it, then feel completely comfortable again :P ;

    - You look at KFC chips (my absolutel favourite thing in the world until a while ago) and realise that you'd have to do an hour workout just to work off the fat/calories in them and realise it just isn't worth the bad decision;

    - Its a really humid day and you can somehow cope with the heat/humidity when you didn't used to be able to :)

    You feel twitchy and dissatisfied when you don't exercise.
    Junk food just doesn't taste or feel good any more.

    yes! for me its preferring the taste of unsweetened, plain yoghurt to flavoured, and preferring the darkest, bitter-sweetest chocolate to sweeter versions. Who knew? Me the sweet tooth monster.

    You get peeved that it is going to rain all day and you can't go running. Unless you WANT to run in the rain, which I really hate. But I'll go anyway. :tongue:

    you offer to cut the cake but not eat it at every birthday party you attend, just so you can shove the calories in an opposing direction than your own.

    Your fiancé says to you over a lunch of healthy tapas salad stuff;

    "Do you know, I'm eating better than I ever have - and enjoying it!"
