So far so good! I actually dragged myself out of bed this morning to hit the gym extra early before work. Oatmeal for breakfast, a big salad for lunch with spinach leaves, zucchini, tomatoes with fat-free feta and fat-free salsa instead of dressing. Snacked on some celery. Husband already has veggie soup on the stove for when I get home.

I'm hoping this is a good sign, and I know it's only Day 1 but I don't really feel like I'm in the mind-set of "I'm on a diet" or "I'm trying to lose weight"...I just really have myself believing this is the way my life will be from now on and I actually feel EXCITED by that thought. I'm sure after a few days I will be missing my Milano cookies desperately but this time just feels much different than all of the other countless times I have given this a go.

Think good thoughts for me please, I need all the good karma I can get :-)

Sounds like you are having a fantastic first day...!

Good luck!!

you can do it !
<<"thinking good thoughts">>

If I can do it, you can do it!

I love that excitement

It comes and goes, so when it's gone - just remember how good you feel right now hehe. Best of luck!

Stay close to this site! It is a major source of motivation for me!

Good luck!! Keep us informed on your progress.

all it takes is one good start! if that feeling starts to fade, remember how good you felt today!

Good luck! I'm in week one as well and it's not too hard so far. I've spent a LOT on food though... I threw away almost everything that I had except some progresso low cal soups and cheerios lol. I just hope that since I'm pretty well stocked on healthy foods now, my grocery list will be a bit shorter next week!

Whiskey I did the exact same thing! I think my grocery bill was like $100 this week! Thank goodness i was already stocked up on ground turkey and chicken breasts or it would've been worse! Getting rid of all the junk DEFINATELY helps!!
