I have lived on a Susan Powter Fat Free/ Low Fat way of living for 10 years.
There were WAY to many good processed foods coming out and the wieght began. Those Smart Bites/100 Calorie packs were only lasting a day.

Today is the first day I ahve started the Sonoma Diet and I am so wanting a Chips Deluxe bag of the Smart Bites.

I have not done so well today.

I bought the food and spent a good portion of the day cooking/preparing for the rest of the day. Wave 1 Day 1 food is GREAT!!!
I went through the 11 almonds, wow those are good after not having them for so long.
THen lunch came and went. I was soooooooo hungary and I looked forward to eatting a peanot, again something that I have not had in 10 years!!
WOW ~ those were so good that I just could not stop. I did not eat THAT many, but I sure dipped into tomorrows snack.
I bought some Pita BUT it had 9 grams of fat in it and it was really just to buttery/rich takting for me.
(I have not had more than 3 grams of fat in anything that I have eatten for 10 years.)
I feel so badly and feel like I failed, but as it has been said before it is better than what I was consuming before. (I only wished that I had made and eatten all of the Swedish Delight cookies yesterday!!)
I just had to write this out and put it out there to people that are understanding what I am going through.
Thank you for listening and I am sure this will not be the last time I write something regarding this subject.
Tomorrow I am going to weigh myself to see what weight I am at. I just really want my clothes to feel better on me and then I would not mind getting some new clothes. I am a MAJOR SHOPPER, but I have denied myself clothes, because of the way I feel and look.
(This guy really makes me feel good!!)
HERE'S TO TOMORROW ~ even though I must tell myself that I have not failed.

But 20 lbs. have come back on, so I have had to get back on the diet bandwagon. I was disappointed when looking for Susan Powter again to find she has become a very angry woman with an anti-man agenda. She was so great back in the day.

You can do it! Don't stress about the little things - know that this is a process and each day you do something you regret, you have the chance to fix it tomorrow! Good Luck!!!!

I have a grudge against the Susan Powter program. I thought I was following it carefully, although I probably had too much sugar because I really craved it on this plan. I generally just did the min. for exercise too, but even that was more than I had been doing. Anyway, I ended up gaining 12 lbs on that program and it seemed like the beginning of a long bad streak for me. Her advise was to stay away from scales, so I didn't even know how much I'd gained until I was at the doctor's. Enough ranting!!

Day 5
I found the journal section so I will be writing these type of entries there.
I thank all of the regulars that did not "let me know" to do that.
(Sometimes on websites the posters can be so rude about posting things in the wrong section. I truly do mean THANK YOU!!)
Just an update. I am still hungary and I am still eatting more than I should but at least it is not what and the amount that I was eatting this time last week.
Darn peanuts!! I suppose that is what I get for not eatting them for 9 years.
