Good Morning! I'm a 90%er and I'm proud of it! Is it ok if I join this group too? I am starting week 3 today!
I have been on this plan for 2 weeks now and I am proud to say that I have not had 1 lick of sugar, no junk food whatsoever. I stick to my planned out meals and snacks. But why I am not considered "100%" is..... I may have an extra slice of onion or tomato on my bunless burger, I might sprinkle a little balsamic (gasp!) on my salad, I might eat 2 whole eggs as my breakfast instead of 1 whole and 3 whites, I might add a little fresh squeezed orange juice and worstershire in my marinade for my skinless boneless chicken breast, I might put a cpl ounces of whole milk in my morning Latte instead of using skim, maybe I'll thinly slice a half oz of real cheddar cheese to put on my salad instead of using that Gross veggie cheese, maybe I'll even crumble up a slice of bacon and put that in my salad too, If I'm in a pinch, I might eat a few macadamian nuts instead of the bag of potato chips on the counter, I might order a ribeye instead of sirloin for a special dinner date with my love...
So see, I may not be 100% following the program to the T...but I am 100% proud of what I am choosing to put in my mouth. I am not eating candy, pastries, cookies, pies, chips, pasta, bread...etc, etc. I don't look at this as an "all of nothing" type of program. Heck even the Man himself says... "The aim is not to follow the strictest diet possible, but rather to go on an effective diet that you’ll be able to stick with as long as possible under the best conditions." There is a reason he said this. And I'm taking that to heart.
