The boys want the deliverable forbidden food tonight so my daughter and I are going out to eat at Applebees (IP safe steak and broccoli) and then off to see Into The Woods. I am feeling great and resisting temptations easily, but I don't want to test myself with THAT food yet.

I have also had to ban a certain deliverable food from our house since I cried with frustration the last time it was delivered (even though it never used to be my thing - how odd!). So I think your alternative is an awesome way to deal with it. I can't wait until the next time my husband brings it up - I'll tell him to go for it, but I am going to a movie!

Salt! Have some bouillon & Aleve. Treat yourself to some comforting herbal tea. And rest.
I've been a slug for the past four days so it was nice to finally have some E.N.E.RG.Y

Are you "down south?" I'm up in lovely Natchitoches! I go to visit the Motherland (NYC) at least once a year.

...hello day 1
I'm with you, Rainbow! I just started today. I've got enough stashed away to get me through the weekend. My clinic will be open Monday, but I wanted to have this weekend to go through the first 3 days, before I need to be back at work. AND - I plan to gather the remaining sweets and carbs from my house and bring them to my neighbor's. Time to say bye-bye to being out of control! Yes, no need to waste some days when we can be on our way right now!

But I really think that we can't start until we're ready. I'm READY to do this. And it's nicer to do it with all of you here. So here we go!

Good morning..
I have been up since 4:00 this morning, I woke with an incredible headache. So I got up, licked some salt, took advil with coffee and I'm feeling a bit better now. I have woken up with these a few times this past week so I think it is from doing IP, any ideas on how to avoid these.. they are terrible. I get all my salt and water in during the day. The only thing I need to work on is remembering to take my cal mags at night. I have forgotten them quite a few times. Could it be that? or maybe I am still withdrawing from the carbs...

Hurray for distractions!

It is so amazing how easily we can fall into TV and snacking. Neither excess sitting nor excess food is good for us.

Don't forget you can have an extra packet week 1, if needed. Have you checked out the new P1 sheet or are you following yours from before?

I'm so happy you're back! Yesterday I contacted a couple other "missing" people, as well. I hope they turn up.

Good Morning! I had a wonderful night with my little girl. Dinner went great and I made it through the long movie without a thought about the popcorn! My 10 year old even made a comment about how proud of me she was that I didn't steal any of her popcorn because she knows it is my absolute favorite food. I was so proud of myself in that moment. I have total control right now. I wrote myself a note on my phone notepad about how I am feeling right now so that anytime I am faced with those temptations, I can remind myself how amazing it feels to be in control and how the moment will quickly pass and I will not regret NOT eating something bad for me. It feels great to feel like this and I don't want to lose this feeling.
