first week on SBD
I've finished my first week on SBD and I feel like a completely different person. I look at junk food and I don't even think about eating it. I don't want to eat it. It looks like garbage to me. One week ago, I couldn't stop stuffing my face with it. I thought that I would never be able to have control again. It isn't so much the weight loss, it is the feeling of control I have over food, that is brand new...it feels revolutionary...like my life has just done a huge 180.
It is so much more important to me that I don't constantly think about eating, that I don't constantly wonder where my next sugary snack will come from than losing a ton of weight. I've decided to stay on protein and vegetables, mainly, for several months. Phase one feels great. Why should I add back fruit and carbs? Do we have to?
Coming from someone who would buy huge bags of candy daily to feed her fix, who felt depressed and tired and anxious all the time, who had to hide to eat so that her husband wouldn't see all the junk, to someone who can go hours without thinking of food, who is dropping weight daily, whose skin is clearing up, mind feels alert, needs less sleep, feels more confident, clothes fit better, and husband has asked "what's up" and started SBD too....there's no leaving phase one for awhile.
just some thoughts from a very happy girl after her first week,
hugs and cheers to all chickies
