Induction: Start date May 26-07

[sensfan1960]

Hello everyone!!!
Well I'm backkkkkkkk
Finally woke up motivated to get back to this WOL.

Quitting smoking wasn't the easiest thing I've ever done and since it was affecting my health the way it was I thought it best to concentrate on accomplishing that and then come back here when I felt safe...well I DO!!!

I weighed myself this morning and took my measurements as you can all see. I'm back to my starting weight on March 15 BUT THAT'S OK cause at least I had 16 pds to play with when I quit smoking...BUT NOW...no more FOOLING around...[img]images/smilies/capital.gif[/img]

I'm starting induction today and not weighing myself till my 2 weeks are up...I KNOW I can do that this time [img]images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I'm going to get my son to take a picture of me today and I will post it in my signature.

Ok so here I gooooooooooo!!!
So VERY glad to be back.

Happy Sunday everyone...Rainy here today but hey...the flowers need it

Woke up starving this morning...was laying in bed thinking...yummmm...I'm going to have a Minute Muffin...

I hadn't had one in awhile and it was soooooooo good!!! I had it with butter and water...then afterwards I thought...sheeshhh I'm still hungry and I know for sure that's the NO NICOTINE acting up...so what I did is I had a cheese string which kinda/sorta helped me out but not really. Then I realized that it was a piece of gum that would satisfy this whatever desire....and it worked!!! Grateful for that as it was driving me crazy.

Really different trying to control my eating and not being a smoker. When I smoked I would simply smoke if I felt hungry and wanted something that wasn't on program...friggin addiction to those cancer sticks...so glad it's done with. My food taste so much better as well.

I bought some new ground flax called golden flax and it really taste different from what I was using before and I really like it.

I also bought some psyllium husk and am taking 2 tsp in water a day.

So now I'm patiently waiting for lunch...will be nice when ketosis sets in...no more obsessing over foods.

Drinking tons of water and must have gotten up like 4 times during the night to have the pee that never ends!!! haha My body needs time to re-adjust again. I've always been a water drinker even when I quit smoking but I really pump it up when in this WOL.

Alright...enough rambling. You all have a great Sunday!!!

Elizellen...Hi and thanks!
Just finished supper and day 2 of induction.

I will go in my kitchen in a little while and get my lunch ready for tomorrow. I've been eating at the cafeteria the last 5 weeks and I can't wait to simply be eating MY food.
