Before After

Survival

Today and tomorrow I am truly starting over with my eating plan.  Back to square one....literally.  I am doing a shortened version of the "Quickstart" that basically lets you eat as much as you want as long as it is lean protein or vegetables.  Nothing else.  When I did it in January, doing this really helped out with the carb cravings.  When I was done, I had NO desire to eat any crap food, which made the rest of the diet go very smoothly.  Then I started to add the refined sugars back in and everything went to hell.  Sooooo, I am going to try this again to see if I can get the cravings back out of my system. 

I have to tell you though, that the M&Ms and chocolate have really been calling my name today.  I have had to mentally slap my own hands more times that I would like to admit.  It started at 7:00 this morning when I was cleaning out the pockets in a pair of pants and found two pieces of candy.  I had one of the unwrapped before I could think and almost into my mouth.  Who eats candy at 7:00 in the morning before even getting in the shower?  Me apparantly.

Just found out that my best friend from college has been put on bedrest with her pregnancy.  She has to be sitting or laying down for the next 10 weeks.  Sheesh!  I can't even imagine it.  She is only a few days into it so her spirits are high, but I know that it is going to be hard to keep them up.  Anyone have any ideas for what I can send her?  I would like to put together a "survival kit" of some kind but don't know exactly what to put into it.

We will be camping this weekend and I am going to have to forgo the s'mores.  WAHHHHHH!  Ooey gooey goodness and I have to skip them.  :(

Hello!

I just found your blog today.. great job on the weight loss!  You should be very proud of yourself at what you have accomplished so far!   

I read through your post from a month ago about your neighbor who used to be a friend, and want to share something that has helped me immensely in not letting things (people) bother me.  Think it was on Dr. Phil.. not sure.. but it has really stuck with me.

"Holding a grudge is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die."

When I think of it that way, I can see that the bad feelings are negatively affecting me and it's just not worth it. 

Again.. great job your steps to getting healthier!
