I am just barely into my first week of Phase 1... and as you can see, I have a lot of weight to lose.
I was feeling wonderful about my first two days on Phase 1 this week. Did really well, stuck to the plan. Didn't feel too hungry or like I was really missing out on anything.
This morning I had to go to a funeral, and afterwards a luncheon. I was served a gooey, hot sandwich.
I didn't know what to do. I felt like I was going to have a panic attack right then and there. I thought about taking it all apart and just trying to eat the meat and melted cheese sauce... I felt like it wasn't the time or place to share my "new diet plan" with the friends and family there... so I ate it, buns and all.
The good part is, I stopped there. I didn't eat anything else. Just enough so that nobody would start asking questions or focusing on me.
The worst part is, the entire way home all I could think about was what drive through I could hit! I felt the cravings come over me immediately, and they haven't stopped! A big eye-opener for me.
I don't know how I will become strong enough to say no. I feel like everyone around me just sees this as my next fad diet in a long line of others that I've tried and failed at over the years. So I don't really even want to tell anyone about it.
So... what to do now? Day 3 of Phase 1... down the drain? Do I start over at day 1? Or just keep moving ahead with eating on Phase 1 like I was when I woke up this morning?
This is all scary to me.
