You are both great role models for motivation. I've readjusted my attitude. I guess the days to come will determine if my resolve holds. I feel good right now. NO to any off plan eating. That's simple enough, right?!
moonlight wrote:Thanks, Scott! Yes, I'm going to focus on NO to any thoughts that arise about going off my food plan. Yesterday was a good day. I realized that I had thoughts about eating other things. Not really cravings. Just thoughts. I don't act on all the thoughts that run through my head and the food thoughts are just that, thought bubbles rising up. While I may not have control over what my mind brings up in a thought, I do have control over what I want to ponder or act on.
I watched Cowspiracy on Netflix yesterday. It gave me a renewed intention that this WOE is important not only for my health but for the health of the planet.
I plan to do some cooking today. I have appreciated my backup supply of frozen soups but it's time to restock.

I am glad that you are doing what is best for you at this time. Also, wishing you well on your journey!!
I just wanted to let you know that I have been inspired by your journal. I always loved your gardening and cooking stories -- as well as your super attitude and supportiveness.
By the way, you are inspiring in what you have achieved since you started posting!!! Woot!! You have lost weight and kept it off -- nothing to sneeze at!!!
Wanted to share the following links in case they may be helpful or interesting to you (if you haven't seen yet). Both are related to your recent comments on cheese.

This one is from Neal Barnard / PCRM / The Exam Room podcast. It describes the addictive factors in cheese and is really interesting - about an hour listen

Book Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us by Michael Moss. I listened to this audio and it really made me mad at how Big Food manipulates us. While not focused on cheese, it has some stats on how the average American's cheese intake has gone up (about 3X) since 1970 (and how Big Food achieved that).
Hope to see you around on other threads.
Best,
Stephanie

Anyway, good luck, and hope to see you still posting elsewhere!
