Feeling Great!!!!!

[applejax]

I do not post much around here. I normally read, read, read. I feel the more information I have the chances of succeeding are greater.

I have to post today though. I am on day nine of induction and I feel GREAT!!!! I have sooooo much energy.

Just to think 4 days ago I was begging my hubby to take me to a Mexican Restaurant but he told me NO. Thank goodness. He asked me why I would want to ruin what I had started? Believe me, I am so glad I didn't.

You all just keep posting so I can keep reading!

Thanks

Great job! It only gets better. I can't believe how much better I feel 4 months in and 22 pounds less.

Thanks for the replies!

Blue996 I hope and pray that I have the strength that you have to continue on thru 4 months. I want this to be a life style change but I am so afraid of messing up again. I have tried and tried this many times. The longest that I ever went was 2 weeks. But yesterday my boss tried giving me candy twice and I turned him down I was so proud. No one could believe that I turned down candy. I think this time I may have it.

Beautybox something that I found is really good is parmesan chicken. It is so yummy. Also a mock danish is good in the morning. When I bring parmesan chicken to work for lunch I will usually bring a salad with it and everyone will go on about how good it looks and smells. I tell ya you need to try it!

Applejax:

The parmesan chicken sounds yummy (and I can't even smell it yet) how do you make it?

Congratulations on turning down the candy! Way To Go! You are just proving to yourself that you can in fact - do this. In just a few short months you will be like Blue996 looking back and being amazed out how simple this really was & LOVIN your inner you that is finally sneaking out for the world to see! Keep up the good work!

Something I found empowering as I was loosing was HOW I turned down such offerings. When I said "I can't eat ______" people would continue to press. "Can't" made them think that I wanted to, but was just resisting for now. Instead I would say "I don't eat ______". Like Yoda said, there is no try. Can't indicates trying. There is DO or DO NOT. The dououts stopped being passed my way at morning meetings almost immediatley.
