I have to admit that I really didn't think it would be this easy. I thought "there is no way that I won't want all the chocolate and fries". Every afternoon, I used to come home and nap. I was always so tired. And the first thing I'd do when I got up was eat fries or chocolate.
This afternoon, I have been busy doing other things and knew I needed something to eat. I went to the fridge/freezer (habit) and saw the fries-nothing, no reaction whatsoever. I can't tell you how exciting that is for me.
My first reaction was "yuck, I don't want those." I ended up reheating some green beans I made the other night! And they were GOOD! If you people knew me, you'd think I've lost my mind! LOL
I just wanted to share this with someone who would understand. I think my mom is getting sick of me talking about this ALL the time. LOL
It's nice to know that you are all out there going through this change with me. Thanks for listening.

It feels so good to see what you have accomplished already doesn't it. I understand what you are saying about your family being tired of hearing "it". Share all you want here we all love to hear "it". Keep up the great work!!


Oh by the way I love your vegetables saying. It's great.

Yay! for you! Good Job!

I know exactly how you feel I came to talk about my triumphs about temptation today.

Today I have turned down my favorite spaghetti twice and a fresh creme filled Krispy Kreme donut!!!!

But the best top to my evening was when I went to Walmart tonight. I usually buy my 3 year old nuggets and a sprite to keep him quiet during my visit. (I know! Bad MOmmy! I will work on that later when I get better with ME!) I didn't casually nibble on a nugget. I wasn't even tempted. And because I was sipping my WATER in the van before we went in, I wasn't even tempted to take a drink of his sprite! It made me feel so good inside.

I honestly feel that the detox is working. When I was halfheartedly counting calories I would find a way to justify it. But, I don't have as big a monster on my back with this way of eating!!!

This is day 8 on phase 1 for me!

thanks for the encouragement and congrtas to all of you too. Dana, I know what you mean about "justifying" those little cheats. That's what's so great about this. It feels like I'm cheating with something legal and I don't have the urges to get that bad stuff. I am loving my new way of life! I've decided to stay on phase 1 at least 1 more week after this week. It hasn't been hard so I know it can be done. This is just so exciting. It's like a new present that you just want to keep playing with . LOL

Yay! Congratulations! You must be very proud of yourself for doing so well!
