I think moving up the rungs is a great idea, actually. I dropped two pounds in one day by adding in a bit extra. You should definitely take a look at the rungs. There are some awesome stickies on the OWL page, if you don't have the book. Sounds like you are at about rung 4 and didn't quite realize it. I am not suggesting you should stop eating those items at all. I say, go for it!
