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.
"I had sugar last night - a bit of a binge/slip. I wanted to numb out - change my feelings. Sugar gives me a high that I’m still after. I know where it came from so that is helpful at least! "
"I did not eat only carnivore + fruit yesterday. I accept that I did not meet my goal, and I move forward. I am scared of the potential for a difficult few days of OCD, but I will lean on my friend Chris to help me through it. "
"I didn’t track my food yesterday because I didn’t have Internet connectivity, but I’m pretty sure I was under. Hi did an 8 mile hike and only had small snacks until dinner."
"It was good, but I did have some cravings in the evening. But I decided that it just wasn’t worth it. Today I woke up with a massive headache so the detoxing has definitely kicked in. Gotta see this through! "
"It’s been good so far. I find dinner to be quite big and filling but I trust the amounts (just going with it). If it works for so many others, I’m sure it can work for me too. Cravings aren’t there anymore and I have to wonder if it’s because I have finally cut out the correct ingredients!! "
"So I was doing really well. I was watching my calorie intake and moving around more, but didn’t really see any lose. I was able to hold the line, though. I think it helped that I stopped disappearing to Major Tom after work. Their food is so full of salt. I just balloon. I just need to keep at it."
"Beginning at 7pmish-9:30pm ate a lot including sweets, some pizza, chocolate chip pancakes, bread and sugar, cupcakes, dessert pudding, cookie wafers."
"I made everything how I wanted. The only thing I forgot to write down before starting is that I was going to throw a party for my aunt. So I ate meat on Sunday (11/21) and I'll eat meat on Monday (11/22). Also I didn't go to the gym 3 times but 2 times this week but I exercised everyday at home (stretching exercises)."
"So I thought you’d like an update on the Oreos. They are still at work. They have been sitting on my desk in full line of eye sight/near things I use every day. I ate one cookie today at around 3pm. I put the Oreos into my desk draw for over the weekend. The packet is minus 2 cookies.
I am now afraid that they will go stale before I eat them all 😅"
"What was interesting was I broke the rule in the morning and then I just kept breaking it throughout the day knowing that I would have to report no I figured I might as well get the most out of it. Logical, but bad logic."
"Yesss! Finally a successful day out of a lot of unsuccessful ones! I was tempted this evening, we were at a dinner and the cinnamon roll looked tempting for a minute, but then I just decided “nope, I don’t even want that” and the craving went away! "
"So today I realised just how different my eating habits are… I am exhausted (late night working) so at lunch I decided to get a packet of Oreos as they are on special, and they are Oreos, and I’ve always comfort ate.
Normally I’d eat the whole packet in one sitting, maybe 2 if I’m lucky…
I ate ONE cookie. ONE. And the rest of the packet is sitting on my desk. I didn’t even think about it once I’d had my cookie. I looked at the packet when I was packing up to come home and was like “nah, I don’t need to take them home”…
I can’t believe that happened. I was so cautious about taking these drugs, but they are obviously working as my food addiction is lessening"
