Day 2

[sourpuffgirl]

Hey people
Today was my day. Feeling pretty good. Tomorrow is day 3, I'm excited. I REALLY want to succeed this time. But I keep thinking about my favorite treat- Chocolate, Banana Ice cream w/ real bananas on a waffle bowl from cold stone creamery. But I WILL be strong! I will check back tomorrow....

Re: Day 2

Sour puff, I am absolutely EXCITED for you and SOOO PROUD of your steps. Girl, you can do this. Redirect your thoughts to how it feels to be in control, to be free of cravings. To feel your weight begin to drop. Think about how it will feel when either today or tomorrow you enter into ketosis and your body starts burning fat for fuel. You are going to start to feel good in a day or two, and so proud of the steps you are making. Keep pointing yourself in this direction. YOu rock

Re: Day 2

For me.. it's not the food so much as the feeling that food gave me. Should food give you that good of a feeling?? Probably not I'm searching for other things that can hold that same euphoria - crafts, friends, working in the yard.. it's working. The longer you stick with it the easier it gets to resist those kinds of things.

Re: Day 2

Sarah...I think you're on to something about those dreams! last night I dreamt that I ate a whole jar of apple sauce w/ cinnamon and sugar! It was SO real! When i awoke, I was frantic searching for the jar! The odd thing was when I went to the kitchen, right by the garbage was an empty jar of applesauce waiting to be thrown out. I was so afraid that I went on a midnight binge in my sleep, but my brother assured me it was he who finished it (thank God!).... Jess thank you soo much for your support and motivation, I WILL SUCCEED! Rachel, I've just pulled out the old crochet tools from the closet... Here in NYC the week has been pretty cool.... It's about time a finish my blanket in time for winter.... GOOD LUCK ALL!!!! remember.. JUST DO IT!!

Good for you! crochet away

Must be the moon. The other night I dreamed I ate a huge piece of wedding cake. Oh, the sugary icing was soo darn good. And it was just hard enough on the outside and creamy on the inside... and I had a corner piece. Omgosh, it was so good. That's as close to a cheat as I'm getting LOL I can have my cake, eat it (in a dream) and not gain! whoo hooo.

Send us some cool weather down south. It really is cooler today.. feels good.

Re: Day 2

Sourpuff, girl I challenge you to go to that blanket and crochet every time you are about to loose it. "Just do it girl". and then you can look back and see how you over came, row upon row, you over came this season in your life. To have something tangible would inspire me to much all my achievements on the bike, are miles added up, go and read that log and it touches me but to have a blanket I made while I was overcoming emotional eating...what a powerful thing
...too bad I don't crochet...oh lord I would freak to have to wear my bifocals and do that and tv....i'd get tied up in a knot!!!!
