It Works so far!

I have been keeping track of all I eat for a week and so far it is working. The biggest key for me is planning the menu and having all the food on the menu available. If I don't feel like eating what I planned, I always have an alternative available that is still good for me and not going to rack up those calories. I ate out 4 times and still managed to lose about 3 1/2 pounds this week.

I am moving on to phase 2 tomorrow and that means more calories so it will also mean slower weight loss. That is okay as long as it is steady.

I did struggle a little. I have been craving some ice cream and chocolate but have managed to resist. I even watched my husband and my sister and her husband eat the Chocolate Molten Cake at Chili's and didn't even take a bite. I am very proud of myself for that. It is hard to think that I have to make this way of eating a way of life but I know I will be healthier for it.

ONE DAY AT A TIME!
