Engine 2 Diet - Day 4

Welcome to Day 4. The thought of cheating creeps every now and then but all in all, I'm doing ok. The biggest temptation has been the lobster risotto in the fridge that my fiance brought home from her X-mas party from work. It's been sending whispers of "eat me.... eat me..." my way from the fridge for the last day and half. It also doesn't help that yesterday was a weight lifting day and I'm always very very hungry on the days I lift.

We do have the holidays coming up and it's going to be tough to be 100% strict. What are your thoughts? Should I allow myself some wiggle room? Should I convince my self through a Bart Simpson like session on the chalkboard "I will not Cheat. I will not Cheat"?

I'm pretty resigned to fact that X-mas Day and New Year's Eve are locked in for some carnage eating. I look forward to your thoughts.
