Entering 3rd Week of Induction

[punker]

hi guys! i am now entering my third week of induction. i plan on being in extended induction until i am very close to my goal.

i love reading this place because it gives me so much inspiration!

i haven't weighed in yet! because i wanna surprise myself at the end of the month! but i do notice that i am definitely smaller in the mirror! also no cheats here! which i am very proud of! i guess it helps a little that i never drank coffee before, and the only source of caffeine or sugar i ever had was in the candies, cakes, and sodas. which gross me out now. haha

i think my body is adjusting to this new woe amazingly!
yesterday i made roasted chickens for my family. and i also made a giant heaping bowl of mashed potatoes. i told myself "what would one spoonful of mashed potatoes do??" but i have control now! and DAMNED those potatoes into the abyss! haha. i'm glad i did too! because i know that if i had taken that ONE bite, i would have thought "what's another spoonful gonna do?" and that would not be so good!
it sort of shocked me that i was able to control myself even when stuff like cookies and potatoes are right in front of me. i didn't even have those sharp pangs of longing i had when i first started this lifestyle. i just simply didn't want any. and that made me feel better than ever!

i'm proud of everyone here who is helping and letting their bodies adjust to this new WOE!
you guys are all awesome!

SO! extended induction! here we come!

Hi Punker- I have the same addiction to mashed potatoes- BUT mashed cauliflower is just as good and their essentially carb free. Chop up a c.flower, boil till soft and then whip until creamy- enjoy.

Re: Entering 3rd Week of Induction

Punker you are doing so great!

Isn't it exhilerating - that freedom from just HAVING to have a bite of something with carbs in it?

It really hit me when I went out to lunch for my birthday with the girls from the office, and as I sat there looking at what was on their plates I was really not wishing I could eat what they were eating at all - I was actually just enjoying them enjoying it if you know what I mean. That was a huge moment for me when I realized I was in control!
