Now what?

So I got over the stomach bug, and my appetite came back for the first time today, and I found myself wondering:  What should I eat?

There really aren't any "shoulds," I guess.  I'm in maintenance for  the first time ever.  I have a little weight chart that I'm watching.  I go back "on a diet" if the chart goes up too high.  And I'm expecting I might overdo it and have to make a correction.  But for now, I guess... no rules.

Weird.

I ate a normal breakfast, scrambled eggs with carrot and onion, and found my stomach growling with hunger about 9 AM.  I started to think to myself, Only an hour and a half till snack time, and then it occurred to me:  I'm hungry.  I guess... I could eat.   Now. 

Oooookayyyy... so I had some peanut butter toast, and then I was fine till lunch.  

At bedtime the kids ate Frosted Mini Wheats and I nibbled on them.  Broke a rule!  I said I'd given up bedtime snacks for good, and then there they were, little sugar-frosted whole-wheat bite-size tempters.  Didn't.  Even.  Count.  Them.

I suppose I am wondering how much I can get away with.

Supposedly, I know how to correct it if it goes wrong.

It's all still really new.

Yep, I'm supposed to be following a low-carb, no sweets diet right now and last night I had an oreo cookie with mint double stuffing.

I don't think anything has ever tasted so good.
