Svenja - A big congratulations for skipping the goodies and for getting off your medication! Let us know how it goes this week.
Chelsea - Awesome job! How's the running coming along?
Jeepsterhound - That's a good solid loss. Best wishes for next week.
HappyGardener - Great job. I have found that I need to do the same thing. Stay connected with others trying to eat this way and to keep hearing/reading the information again and again. You are doing great!
Dee - No worries about the gain this week. Just keep doing your best. LOL, I like your thoughts on this. Your body will give you that victory, but like many of us, not easily. Thank you for reading my post. So you know that I totally get what you're going through. We will just keep at it, together, and eventually we'll get there if we stay the course, slip ups and all. XO
ForestGoddess - It appears that logging in everything really has been a good thing for you. Just keep inching towards greater compliance and be kind to yourself when you slip up. Not many people can do this cold turkey. I am in a similar situation as you at home, many different people eating many different things...and I cook for them all. The best I can offer you is how I deal with it. I keep no dairy in the house. I only buy snack foods for the kids that have fibre and whole grains that are not appealing to me but are still somewhat appealing to them. I make my meals first, and if I run out of time everyone can have toast or cereal or my food for dinner (that doesn't happen often). Please try not to get too down about it, I understand the despair and have been there, but with continued effort you will slowly make progress and begin to feel much better about your progress. I have many more years of sucking at this plan than succeeding at it under my belt...but I'm getting there. You will too!
landog - Sage advice!
