Down 5lbs

[Patrizia040]

Hi everyone! I'm off induction tomorrow but I weighed myself this am and I'm down to 149lbs! That's a loss of 5lbs.....yeah! I'm extremely happy with myself especially because I cheated a teeny bit (I was weak!). I know that it's not allowed but I just want to be honest to you all. This WOE has been very difficult for me so far as I'm sure it is with alot of you. I hope it gets easier. I think my taste buds are numb because the taste of foods is very blah. I have a nice size family (hubby and 4 kids) so having no carbs in the house is not doable. I'd like to know from others who have a family how they faired with this WOE. I'm the only one who cooks (occassionally hubby grills) and the temptations are overwhelming at times. Now I'm wondering whether I should continue Induction or go onto the next phase. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Re: Down 5lbs

I have 3 kids and have had no probs on this WOE. I started back in June and haven't cheated since. Yes there are bad stuff in my house and I cook it for the kids, but I look at it and look at my fat butt and its easy to know I do not want to eat it. I keep lots of yummy legal snacks in the house as well. As for meals, I go through Linda's site and pick the ones I think we can eat as a family. Like last night we had mexican spinch casserole. Hubby and I had it plain and the kids put it in taco shells. They said they were the best tacos they have ever ate. It makes me feel great to not only change my eating habits, but also share yummy healthy food with them. I haven't cut anything from their diet (they snack of fruit, have pancakes and burgers and get dessert every once in a while), but I found they seem to be drinking more water instead of juice and all I have to do is buy it and drink it around them. I love this WOL.
