DAY FOUR! This is the furthest I've gotten thus far!

[Cleo128]

I started over on induction four days ago...I was determined to have a clean one, but I waayyy needed some coffee last night (had to stay up all night working on my art stuff) but I definitely plan on cutting it out again starting tomorrow...I've been waking up bright and chipper at 6:30/7:00 WITHOUT an alarm clock!
ANYHOW day four *kind of* cheat free! I'm proud I even made it this far...hopefully I can make it another ten days!

PS I bought a bunch of CUTE (but ill fitting) clothes yesterday as motivation.

Umm... *ahem* What's 'kind of' cheat free mean? Is it you eating a cookie everynight, or is it the coffee thing? Way to hang in!!! You're going to be so thin you'll have to run around the shower to get wet.

I was referring to the coffee thing. A cookie would have inevitably led to a sugar-fest. Oh, cookies.

You're going to be so thin you'll have to run around the shower to get wet.
HAHAHA. Hilarious.

{{{Cleo}}} Whew! Coffee is handlable! I commend you for keeping the cookies at bay! *salute*

And it feels so weird hugging another cleo...*lol*

What a wonderful idea of those clothes, hehe !
Well congratulations on steping into day 4 and I am sure you are going to make it this time !!!!

How is day 5 going, cleo? Wonderfully I hope!

It's 5:00 exactly, and I have yet to stray the path!
Thank you so much for caring! You have no idea how much it helps coming to this board.
Actually...you probably do. Nevermind.

Anyhow, another thing that's really helped me this time around (I don't know if this will help anyone else) is this two-week chart of sorts I've made. I put my morning weight right next to the day, and whether or not (and on what) I have cheated (nothing so far), just so if my weight's acting suspicious, I can look to the day before and see why.
I also put *cheat free* next to every day until I fall off the wagon...it feels so nice writing it down and seeing that string at the end of every day that it's just that much more motivation.
At the end of the two weeks I have all of my clothes that "fit" at the beginning of induction (but were way too tight) with checkmarks next to them (to see my progress somewhere other than the scale).

I hope this helps someone, I've tried to do induction SOSOSOSO many times and never made it past halfway through day four until now.

Thanks again for the support!

What a neat idea, cleo! I like it! Way to go on keeping accountable and for using a visual aid to do it!
