But man, the cravings!! Yesterday was the worst. I would actually daydream about eating a bag of Doritoes!! UGH!! But, instead of eating I did some exercise and kept busy. Only had a small breakdown and ate 1 extra fudgsicle (sugar-free of course), then made some herbal tea and that calm me til bedtime.

What helped me through it? not having the "wrong" foods around the house. I know that I would've ate some (some=all) of a bag of popcorn that I threw away before I started!!


THis is tough, but feels so good!!!

If it helps I'm on day 10 and I believe I'd lost all cravings by day 6. I love salt and chocolate!! I also love bread. So there are my weakness. Unfortunantly I can't get rid of all the bad foods in our house. I run an inhome daycare. LOL! Afternoons have become my worst time for cravings. The kids are sleeping and I'm left with not to much to do, besides watch tv or sit on the computer. I have a child that is an extremly light sleeper so I don't want to wake them up. But it does get easier!!

Day 4! Good for you!

I'm on day three and have lost 2 lbs! I am determined to stay with this! I am having trouble finding some variety in what I eat. I didn't think I was a picky eater but apparently I am! I made the quiche and really like it. I have been working out everyday. My goal is 30 lbs! I weight 154.5 today! Yea! I am new to the boards and am so excited to see other people just starting too!
