I didn't buy the cookbook, but have gotten a little creative with dinners lately. The stuffed peppers i had last night and tonight were really yummy. Breakfast and lunch are pretty standard and I don't seem to mind. I am feeling so good about myself and that's all the motivation I need. I get up at 5:40 and go to the gym every morning.
I will stick with this diet today because I will be happier with my body if I stick with it. I will look better and become healthier.
I will look great at my wedding, Dear God give me the strength to keep going. Amen
I'll stick to this diet because it is almost Christmas and I want to look great in pictures. This is the easiest diet I have ever done. I don't have to starve at all!

Cmarty i'm right there with ya!!! I am going to make it thru the holidays with flying colors, i don't want to go back to my old ways!!! I have alot of support here and with friends and family!!!
Because it's working. It might be slow, but it is steady and it's working. It takes effort but I'm up to the challenge. I can manage each day as it comes.
I had to come back to this as sometime through out the day it gets hard . I can totally make it through today, I've been up since six thirty and I'll be in bed by 9 so i'm only 8 hourse away from bedtime I can stay out of the mashed potatoes until then i know i can! i just drank my HNS and i'm working on my water but its calling me. its my first day back OP again so i'm sort of having a carb craving
I'm sticking to this Diet because I made a Commitment to do this and I cannot let my kids see me give up !! it's a matter of keeping my word ..which my family knows is very important to me
@ Radio Jane- get it girl! That is awesome progress!
@Roo 2 - what a great way to go about it , good example to those of us with kids. I'm following suit making sure my girls see me eat healthy.
I'm sticking to this diet today because I've come this far and I can't give up now. I don't want to be the way I used to be ever again and when my family thanksgiving comes up I want to look and feel great for everyone to see! Keep up the good work everyone, I love the support that goes around in these posts and seeing people do awesome makes me want to do the same!
I'm sticking to this diet because I am just beginning to figure it out! Signed up Wednesday, down 2.5 pounds Friday night (I realize that is just the swelling going down, so to speak). Still feeling a little weird, but I trust that will pass. I want the energy, the brain health, and to be able to take lots less insulin!
Had a talk with my skinny-b*tch sister in law yesterday (who I love to pieces) and she reminded me that she is a marathon runner because running is an area of her life in which she has control.
I realized - I have control too? I'm by no means a marathon runner (would love to be!) but I DO have control over what I put into my mouth. No one is forcing me - it's my choice to take control.
Today (and this week during Thanksgiving) I'm choosing to stay on plan. Sure I'll have cornbread dressing (2 oz) instead of potatoes... but I'm not gonna blow it Because... I deserve to be healthy!
