Today is the beginning of day 4 of following the Eat to Live lifestyle and I have to admit it has not been extremely easy so far. Luckily the reasons it has not been easy are not the same reasons that other "diets" have not been easy for me in the past.
The GOOD so far...
1. I have not caved in and eaten bad at all. Basically I have not over-indulged on anything that is restricted.
2. I have lost 5 pounds so far and it's only the beginning of day 4. (Started at 185, now 180)
3. I feel like I have a good amount of energy
4. I have not felt hunger pangs, but I have had cravings
5. It feels good knowing that I am giving my body the nutrition that it is really trying to ask me for.
6. It seems like my stomach has flattened ever so slightly.
7. It has not required extensive preparation
8. I have not had diarrhea
The BAD so far...
1. Withdrawals from highly processed foods, sugar, and fat is REAL and it sucks! I have had some of the worst headaches ever the past three days. They always hit me around the same time which is about right before dinner time. I'm hoping they will stop soon.
2. I have had major cravings. Luckily I am smart enough to know that having Sushi one night and allowing myself one Dove chocolate piece every night is not going to throw off my diet.
3. Just smelling all that "yummy" food sends info to my brain that I want that food. I've got to get that to stop!
I'm going to keep strong and keep it up. We are going to Peter Piper Pizza tomorrow for one of our friends kids 2nd Birthday party and I do plan on allowing myself one piece of pizza, but that is all because I know they have salad there. I'm looking forward to reporting my progress again on Monday!
