Often times the hardest part about dieting is imagining how long it will take to get where you want to be. But, the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. So try starting small; cook dinner 3 nights a week, or take lunch to work. But big steps or small, commit today to the most important thing you've got...your health.
"Had my first Slow Carb meal. Couple of insights.
- I dont think I'm going to need meat for this diet. I was originally scared if doing to much beans but I found myself craving for the beans. Also, it might help with my cravings for the mouth feel of carbs. And the fiber should keep me full.
- I'm having random cravings for fruit and to pick at food. I can feel that I've tapped into my willpower. That won't last long. I'm going to have water and coffee near by at all times. Also keep busy and keep telling myself "I can have it now, or have a gigantic satisfying cheat day in 6 days" "
"Yoga and teeth at night becoming automatic, but missed exercise due to leaving it too late, need a fun link to it in the evening on days when weather’s too bad to cycle.... it’s only 15 mins.... I can and want to do this 👍"
"Very proud of myself, I did not binge or eat mindlessly today!
I made three low carbs dishes, baked beans with black soy beans, cheesy cauliflower, and potato salad with cauliflower very good! . "
"It’s the day before the challenge starts, and I am enjoying an iced latte as a reward for a 3-mile stroll in SF. Only one coffee and no other stimulants 💚
I will build the inner strength to set boundaries and to walk away from emotional abuse. "

"Having stayed away from "treats" for over two weeks I am starting to pay more attention to when I crave junk ( chips, and cheezies and other mixtures of salt and fat, red wine, fresh baked goods.....) Not sure where I am going with the information. Will see how it plays out. "
"Regularly hitting weight goal but don’t want to not focus on it or it will go up. Will need to add additional physical gals for weights and workouts next. "
"Food log for July 2nd.
I made a pasta dish using heart of palm. Made a mushroom cream sauce with lots of mushrooms, scallions, pork, oregano, garlic, etc. So good! 10 carbs per serving of dish.
I really want to use it ti make spaghetti, it's a thick noodle and I think it would hold better.

"My aunt cooked this bacon and cabbage dish that was delicious from the remaining cabbage heads I had from making that lasagna. I’m definitely making it again."

"Drank 2 beers at chavs and a big beer at home. Idiot. I was craving it. It wasn't worth it. I have a headache and no motivation to do anything. I feel like crap. I was researching nal yesterday, my brain trying to trick me to try the pills again to moderate my drinking. I tried that, and it sort of worked, but the pills didn't made me sleepy and feel weird. It didn't really work that well. I think I'll just donate the money locally. "
"1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yes (I had Olive Garden to-go today! I’m proud as it has been well over a week that I’ve eaten out and I didn’t even notice until today.)"
"To be clear, I didn't fail my goal on the 28th, I forgot to report. Emailed Stikk so they don't give $5 to the homophobes. So far so good on the commitment."
"I haven’t actually lost any weight 😳 which was scary to see. But I’ve lost some inches and my face looks better but my body doesn’t look like it’s changed much... I’ll celebrate my wins though: fewer cravings!!! Broke my sugar addiction, lost some inches, more energy, better sleep, feeling in abundance, "
