Today is my 14th day of induction and I am really happy with how things have gone. I weighed myself this morning and I am officially down 14 pounds from when I started which is 25% of the way to my goal of weighing 160 pounds! I have been in ketosis the whole time, but I do have to say that I don't think I am necessarily experiencing the appetite suppression part of things
Despite this I am finding the the food choices I make tend to tide me over pretty well throughout the day and I think about food a whole heck of a lot less than I used to. I have eaten out several times without any issue and have been faced with what would have previously been very tempting situations involving ice cream and french fries. When I was faced with ice cream and french fries I really didn't want them though. I thought about the weight I had lost and how great I am feeling and knew that they just weren't worth it. I compared how my salad with blue cheese and bacon looked compared to the fries and thought about how much nicer looking it was and that it wouldn't make my body feel like crap later. I didn't even want just a little bite or taste. When I did weight watchers before I was always tempted by everything around me and I always wanted just a little taste which would then turn into a couple of bites and then guilty feelings. I don't need to feel guilty about food, food is a fact of life and it's a waste of time to feel guilty about it. It's also a waste of time to eat foods that make me feel sluggish and slow, which then interferes with my workday and make me want to just sit around and not do anything. I am so motivated to move onto eating those extra few carbs of veggies and am looking forward to starting OWL tomorrow. Even though I have read and re-read the 2002 version I am sure I will have questions and need advice. I love being on this bulletin board and really appreciate all the info that people put out. Thanks!!!
