So we are going to to this diet together in hopes of keeping each other motivated.

Janella, here's the thing. When we see someone not posting anymore, it usually is because they've fallen. It's great you can do this with someone else. Also, posting daily, at least to say you're alive and well is also a great thing to do.

Listen to Sally, she knows! Always keep legal foods handy to grab and go, that way you won't be so tempted to veer!

Regardless, I'm glad to have you return.

Janella,

Just stick with it for the first 2 weeks! You'll feel so much better and will never want to go back to the old ways of eating! Welcome and GOOD LUCK!

I think one of my problems is I wait too long to eat and by the time I get ready to eat I feel starved and out of energy. Its like my body just crave carbohydrates. How do I strengthen my mind? I feel so weak minded. Have you every felt like you need help and you find yourself reaching and reaching out to other people but the only one who can save you is you? That is were I am at. I am having such a hard time getting started and I don't know why because I believe I can achieve anything I put my mind to.

I hear that. You probably need to eat more food so you stay fuller longer. I don't know what type of eater you are. I happen to be a grazer so I kind of eat all day. I prepare lots of everything so I always have leftovers. Chicken Legs, chicken salad, hard boiled eggs, cheeses, deli meats etc. String Cheese in individual packs are great as they don't go bad, stash some in your bag when you leave in the morning.

So to strenthten your mind, eat plenty of legal foods. Pretty soon your head will adjust to your new eating habits and you'll be good to go!

Yep... I agree with Silly, try eating just that little bit more. Also, keep those legal snacks (high fat)with you so that you don't get starved and energy-less.
